The Display profile in UFRaw is not embedded, the output profile (middle
of the three) is. No matter what output profile you select, the preview
in UFRaw shouldn't change, if I understand things correctly.

Can you use a third program to ensure that the colour profile is
actually embedded and not just destructively applied? I guess
ImageMagick is not as simple to use on Windows, though you could try
just uploading it to http://regex.info/exif.cgi which runs ImageMagick
etc. for you, if you feel alright uploading it to random websites …
