So I tried this (I have a Nikon D810). When selecting any of the generated icc profiles except the last one, I get a message: "unsupported input profile has been replaced by linear Rec709 RGB!" So I selected the last one, and set unbreak input profile to 0.0 as you instruct. The resulting image indeed looks to have slightly better quality, but it has a green cast. This is with darktable 2.0.5-1 rather than 2.0.4. I'm doubtful if that should be making the difference though.
