Just as a follow up I did the following experiment:

1) I grabbed the ColorChecker spreadsheet summaries (using the Lab version) 
from Bruce Lindbloom:
   http://www.brucelindbloom.com/index.html?ColorCheckerRGB.html
2) I converted the D50 Lab coordinates to XYZ (these do not totally agree with 
the values from the ColorChecker Calculator but it should be OK for this 
purpose)
3) I computed the adaptation matrix from D50 to D65 using both the ICC matrix 
and Lam's matrix
4) Then I converted back to Lab and compared the result with the values using 
the D65 source.

To summarize the results I got the following differences (DeltaE CIE76 for 
simplicity) :

                ICC:       Lam:
--------------------------------
Median: 0.89    1.60
Max:    3.14    6.40
RMS:    1.31    2.40

So I am completely satisfied that the ICC specification got it right after all.


Sorry for the noise.
