Well, photoshop shows the 16 bit samples having a 16% value for
the white patch, and that's what the .ti3 file shows too:

That depends on your workflow, and what you want the profile to
do for you. If you want it to correct for non-linearities,
then you can't change the RGB values. If all you are after is
chromatic characterisation (you are assuming perfect linearity),
them linear scaling will be fine, but you need the white
patch to be at 100% to avoid the matrix scaling everything up.

The profile is just doing what you're (implicitly) telling it to - it makes
the white map to PCS white. So if you've got the white patch
at 16% of the range, the profile will scale everything by 100/16
to make the white patch == PCS white.
Maybe there's something about how your workflow converts
from RAW to .tiff that is a problem ? Maybe it's not scaling
the RAW numbers to the full 16 bit .tiff range ?
