I tried this and the linearization target matched the one I got from the Apple Preview App (I guess it's actually unmanaged). I made a print using the resulting profile and it's much, much better than what I was getting with my broken profile.  I think with this linearization and an ICC profile for soft-proofing (but not for printing) I should be good to go.
