What you have not quite said, Richard, is that this adjustment is the one that you would need in order to correct linear RGB to standard sRGB -- so the output of GIMP is not gamma corrected. IMO this is correct, since gamma-correcting would introduce inaccuracies and also reduce precision (which in this case is already limited to 1/256.). The wikipedia images are based on converting the L to rgb by treating the AB channels as if they were zeroed. This produces an image that *looks* accurate but is mathematically inaccurate.
