I think that GraphicsMagick and WebP are correctly saving the pixel 
values (looks good on an uncorrected display).  It seems that you 
discovered that the ICC profile is necessary in order to display the 
image correctly.  I think that there is a pull request for code to 
save/retrieve ICC profiles for WebP.

WebP is primarly intended for small images such as would be displayed 
in a web browser and it intends to optimize file size as much as 
possible.  Given this, adding ICC profiles could significanly bloat 
the saved file.  Some ICC profiles are over 1MB in size (many ICC 
profiles are rather small as yours is only 560 bytes).

If one is preparing images for web, then it is best to apply the ICC 
profile and convert the image to sRGB space.
