I think the main differences are in the conversion from grayscale to RGB.
The color spaces map the values differently.  sRGB compresses the shadows a
bit.  Adobe is more linear.  Both use identical RGB levels at each point
(that is, r=g=b).

(In retrospect, Adobe might have been the better choice.  The sRGB is mostly
a matter of history.)
