I believe it was on dpreview.com, that Carl Schofield described his
workflow 
to get around this problem.  He also wrote a tutorial on luminous-
landscape.com.

He suggested rather than using the No color adjustment, use color 
management and click color controls and select photo-realistic as
mode.  
Supposedly, this produces a more linear grayscale and reduces the
color 
gamut.  With this workflow, he apparently got around the problem of
losing 
shadow detail.  Something to try.

Andrew (TDD) suggested this approach may help produce an optimal profile 
for producing neutral B/W prints.  That is, when printing off the targets for your 
custom profile, use color controls>photorealistic rather than No color 
adjustment for the printer settings to get the epson driver to try to be more 
linear and which also reduces the color gamut.  I guess you would have to do 
a separate one for optimal color profile, using the usual No color adjustment 
for printing the targets.
