This is quite normal. No dslr I know embeds a profil into the jpgs nor into the raws. It is allways just a flag in the exif-data. For Adobe RBG the filename starts with an underscore as a second hint. It is up to the application to interpret these flags. Blame the gimp people for this ;-)
By the way: The Exif-flag method is quite stupid and not save. You can easely create a jpg with a confusing setup: - exif-flag says sRGB - name begins withs underscore - eci-RGB profil is embedded I did not test whether the display of my K10D or K-7 can handle AdobeRGB correct. Maybe they just show the tiny preview/tumbnail that is normally not color managed.
