Yep, that does exactly what you say it does but I'm still left thinking I don't understand the whole concept. The reason is that it is my understanding of the purpose of the profile embedded in the image file is to convey exactly what the image is to look like. Including (but optional for ICC) white point conversion. I can see how under some circumstances a white thing should be displayed at whatever the white of the display is and under some you would want some fixed value.
This is all great but where I'm missing something is that I would expect that opening the D50.tif file would show me something that was D50! I don't get why I have to convert it to another space in order for me to see a different white.
