Yes and no. I believe when the "White balance correction" setting is enabled
on that (and some other?) camera, canon decided to bake the whitebalance
directly into the raw data. And the white balance is still there. So we end up
applying it twice...

Swee, could you please take some other raw image with the same settings
(monochrome, wb corrected), check that it exhibits the same problem, and
upload it to https://raw.pixls.us/ (do read what it should {, not}
contain first please)?
Then there is higher chance of the problem being eventually fixed :)

Your choice, but 2.0.x is old and unsupported :)
