I've recently had the same experience with icc profiles. I've never used 
them with qtr before but thought I'd try them. All they did was make 
everything slightly darker and the shadows blocked up. If your qtr curve 
is well linearised and your happy with the output I really wouldn't mess 
with it by putting an ICC profile on top.
