Old post, but for future reference:

Inspired by this question and links found here, I've written a JPEGImageReader plugin for ImageIO that supports JPEG images with these kind of "bad" ICC color profiles (the "issue" is the rendering intent in the ICC profile is incompatible with Java's ColorConvertOp). It's plain Java and does not require JAI.

The source code and linked binary builds are freely available from the TwelveMonkeys project on GitHub.
