colord was compiled to /usr/local and "make install" put the conf file in /usr/local/etc/colord/colord.conf, by playing around with symlinks, it looks like the colord daemon is looking for /usr/local/etc/colord.conf

I'm not sure what you mean by that, but colord-1.0.4 "make install" put the *.icc files in /usr/local/share/color/icc/colord and the colord daemon appears to find them there, but doesn't like their format.

shared-mime-info is present and glibc provides iconv() - do I need some kind of utf-8 setting in one or more environment variables?

Neither ~/.local/share/icc/ nor ~/.color/icc/ are present, but I've attached the contents of /usr/local/share/color/icc/colord - perhaps you could send me the correctly formatted *.icc files from your system to try?
