Note another difference between these intents: The perceptual intent
is gamut mapped for Adobe1998. This means that it is allowing space
for a pure Adobe1998 blue to be mapped within the gamut of
the output device. I suspect that the profile you are comparing
it with is not actually doing source to destination gamut
mapping for its perceptual intent, and therefore is not compressing
the saturation of the blue sufficiently to accommodate a pure blue input,
and hence for less saturated input values, is producing
a more saturated output.
