I expect that GIF files containing color profiles are exceedingly rare
They are extremely rare. Although GIF format allows 24-bit images, it must be done using several blocks, with a maximum of 256 colors per block. That is a true pain and nobody is using GIF for imaging purposes anymore. GIF is still being used for indexed images in web pages, but that's all. The issue on LZW patent, years ago didn't exactly help to rise GIF popularity, though.
In practice, only TIFF, JPEG and PNG are suitable to embedded profiles.

Clearly I was wrong. I expect that GIF files containing color profiles are exceedingly rare. Please let me know if you should happen to encounter one.
