Unfortunately Apple is only modifying their private dscm tag rather than the standard desc tag that all ICC-compliant applications use. I can't explain why Apple wanted the dscm tag; the standard desc allows tag fully supports multiple, localized Unicode strings.

The only thing that comes to mind is that the ICC spec states that the 'desc' tag's " invariant description has no fixed relationship to the actual profile disk file name" (Section 6.4.33). With 10.9, OSX has difficulty locating some profiles if the contents of the 'desc' tag differs from the file name. That’s progress for you.
Cheers,
