An interesting thing to note is that the color values are not attenuated
linearly.

I suspect a gamma issue. You may want to check what happens if you choose
assumed_gamma 1.0 *and* File_Gamma 1.0 - I'd expect the output file colors to
match the input file then.

Did you check your max_trace_level and adc_bailout?
