Could it be that the conversion with relative intent is the problem?
In my understanding gamut comparisons are only meaningful with
absolute intent, aren't they? Please correct me if I'm wrong or tell
me in which situations relative intent would be "the right choice".

The intent used to create the gamuts should reflect the intent
that would be used to link the two profiles together. So if
relative colorimetric or some other white point adapted
linking were to be used (ie. perceptual or saturation as well),
then the relative colorimetric gamuts better represent the
task a gamut mapping system faces, or the level of clipping
that will occur.
