Uh-oh, I seem to have forgotten the link. So I'll say one more thing about it. 
<http://www.moosemystic.net/Gallery/tech/Scan/GreenDoor/9-641_25wb.htm>

Only the first roll-over is PS. The rest are VueScan. Notice on the first VS 
one how even with a profile, Auto levels 
screws up the WB, just not as badly. A miss is as good as a mile in this.

I consider this a fault in VS. It continues to apply other adjustments even 
with a profile selected. A profile created 
with specific film type selected is different than one created with generic 
film selected, especially with color neg 
film. That's just wrong, in my book.

You can easily enough work around it, but it's not documented and deeply 
non-intuitive (at least to me). I also think 
when a profile is selected, all the auto WB options should not be available.
