Okay, first things first; can you try with the patch I posted on
bugzilla please?

You mean listed in gnome-control-center (color tab)? This should work
fine; what version colord, gnome-control-center and
gnome-color-manager are you using? If you could also get the --verbose
log from gnome-control-center when trying to add the profile, that
would be useful. Also, the output from "colormgr dump". You can of
course use colormgr to add the required metadata, but it should be a
lot easier than this... Sorry.
