Oh, sorry - misread your question.  Yes, bad colour shifts are quite
common if you use the default approximation (which doesn't take the
colour profile into account).  For better results, you want PIL 1.1.7
with littlecms and the ImagingCMS module (see the list archives for
pointers to the development repo).
