There's your mistake: you're not supposed to do that...!

Your RGB working space should be set to a "real" working space: sRGB, Adobe RGB, Pro Photo,
etc. Never to a display profile or a printer profile!

Set the working space correctly, and not only will things improve, but you won't
get those errors, either.

When you build a display profile, it gets hooked into your system automatically as the
current "system" profile, and color management-aware applications will access it that
way directly. Photoshop picks it up and uses it when appropriate without your having
to ever select it "by name" anywhere inside of Photoshop (nor should you).
