Sorry I did not realize this thread was about OS/Dock icons. I thought we were talking about custom image icons generated by PS. Anyway my embedded ProPhoto RGB image icons display properly in the finder, certainly not at all like a embedded ProPhoto image that is assigned sRGB.

Letting the OS create the icon form the file itself allows for what appears to be proper color managed icons.
Not on a modern Mac :-(
The Finder displays the icon RGB values using the monitor profile.
Just take a look at the Dock on a wide gamut display. The application icons for apps like InDesign CS6 are headache-inducing and unbearable to look at.
As I see it, you've got two options for high-end colour work - avoid the Finder and Dock as much as possible or use a product like BasICColor Display to produce a monitor profile which is constrained using their "Color Space Emulation" feature to a specific working space or device space.
