Scott, thanks for the detective work!
This behavior is not consistent. First, it is confined to OSX only. Photoshop on Windows has no such weirdness. On OSX it seems to be hit-or-miss. We've received emails from photographers using our profiles who were unable to see the profile in Photoshop, but it appears in every other app. We have not been able to replicate this behavior on half a dozen Macs nor could a number of our clients.
Regarding Brian's comment about profile name compatibility and filename length, there are only a handful of characters that must be avoided. In Linux/Unix only / and \0 (null) are prohibited. Finder does not allow semicolons in file names, but OSX itself is happy. Windows reserves \ / : * ? " < > |
No operating system supporting ICC profiles has any restrictions on parenthesis.
The ICC internal name field does impose additional restrictions. V2 profiles support a maximum of 67 characters, including a null terminator for the string. The primary description field can't contain Unicode, but both Unicode and legacy ScriptCode have their own 67 character fields. V4 profiles can have anything you want up to 4096 characters. Write a short essay in the profile description if you wish.
Cheers,
Ethan
