I wouldn't jump to that conclusion. Having been spelunking in ICC profile guts for years I can tell you that they are specifically laid out to allow for multiple "interpretations", encodings, precisions, etc.
I'm just saying that it is entirely possible that GretagMacbeth (to be historically accurate) could make a perfectly compliant profile that could trigger a bug in a CMM, or a print driver, or how a print drive calls a CMM, etc. The fact that it occurs outside the image area is certainly an indication that it's a software bug rather than a profile bug. An ICC profile should in *no* way be able to affect the page area outside the image area. The driver's doing something odd there.
It could also be very difficult to trouble-shoot considering that the engineers that wrote PM5 haven't been around at X-Rite for years now...
I particularly like Tom's statement:
>> The subtleties … can be quite confounding to some vendors.
ain't that the truth!
