I did not see your message until today.

The image_ycck.jpeg file has no attached ICM profile but test-YCCK.jpg 
does.  Also, image_ycck.jpeg has a black channel, but it is all zeros 
whereas test-YCCK.jpg has useful data in its black channel.  The 
image_ycck.jpeg file requires that you first supply a ICM profile for 
the current colorspace and then supply the ICM profile for the target 
colorspace so ProfileImage() needs to be invoked twice whereas it only 
needs to be invoked once for test-YCCK.jpg.

For one reason or another, colorspace transformations use the 
'Transform' logging classification so use

   export MAGICK_DEBUG=Transform

in the environment before running your program in order to get a log 
of ICM profile-related operations.
