Could you provide a RAW+JPEG pair somewhere?

Markus has already explained it; the base curve is supposed to be
there, both when the camera generates a JPEG and when Darktable
processes the picture.  If you switch it off, the histogram must
look odd.

Possibly the base curve in Darktable is not perfectly suited for
your camera.  I observe something like that for mine.  An improper
base curve can enhance saturation of darker areas.  I was able to
get a base curve closer to the manufacturer's by analysing RAW+JPEG
pairs.

Tschö,
Torsten.
