Did you specify the "-o" option? If I remember correctly, versions <=
0.60 use the J&V 1978_2 observer by default, and not the 1931_2. Use
"profile ... -o 1931_2 ..." to create standard compliant profiles. In
0.70 the default has changed and is now 1931_2.

Actually, I don't believe it matters in this case. I have seen while
debugging  that no options are considered when converting to Lab from
spectral.

I think Gerhard's explanation is likely to be correct. The selected observer
is passed to make_output_icc(), and hence to new_xsp2cie().
