At the risk of someone thinking that I've become obsessive about this,
I did indeed rerun these tests.  Qimage 2008.200 results are at:

The only one that has changed compared to my V2 histograms from
2008.109 is converting to a generic profile in Qimage without BPC,
which now has a very large amount of black point clipping.  I don't
recall seeing any CM changes flagged in the release notes.

So now there is some reverse symmetry.  If you convert to a generic
QTR profile in Qimage, you *must* use BPC or else you will see a lot
of shadow blocking.  On the other hand if you convert to a custom
profile (or at least mine), then you should *not* use BPC or else you
will get a big dMax loss.

Go figure!
