Stephen:

Yes you can disregard the clipping during profile creation.  However 
clipping in a "real" image after profile application will be part of 
your saved image.  You can experiment with various color tab settings 
during profile creation to confirm.  Create the profile and then open 
it in a profile viewer, you should see that the white point, RGB 
primaries and RGB gammas are the same regardless of the color tab 
settings.
