It shouldn't matter what support imagemagick has really, it just needs to pass
the profile through to the thumbnail. In all cases I've seen, it does -- the
browser then either understands it or doesn't.

I tried disabling color profile management in Firefox -- see
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Gfx.color_management.enabled

With this off, the 'too pale' images render relatively reasonably (but
darker/less saturated than Safari/Preview show them); this probably indicates
that either:

* Firefox is mishandling that particular color profile, and other apps are
handling it right

-or-

* the profile is wrong (thus Firefox is "correctly" showing the file as pale),
but other apps with color management that do correction on images such as
Safari are somehow ignoring it or mishandling it in a way that shows a nicely
balanced image

When I load the image into Gimp (on either OS X or Linux) I'm given the
opportunity to either convert the file into sRGB from its native profile, or
keep it -- either way it ends up looking decent, unlike in Firefox (again, on
either OS).

So I'm a bit inclined that it may be Firefox's color management mishandling the
profile.
