You suggest to add a additional (because it is not common sense to use 
such thing elsewhere) preference for editing versus display rendering 
intent. This, because the load time conversion dialog shall be simple and 
at the same time you feel the need of creating a back door to control the 
load dialog behaviour by the preferences.
Thats neighter clean design nor intuitive.

For a collection of application colour management preference dialogs see:

I found the Gimp screenshot quite ok there. Only the
"Softproof rendering intent" choice could be placed more near to the
"Print simulation profile" choice and make the names more coordinated:
For instance:
"Softproof rendering intent" + "Softproof profile"
But these are minor issues.
