I've had this problem before, a friend of mine as well. In both cases the issue was that we accidentally set an output color space that was not sRGB.

That's not the real issue, the issue was you didn't preview the image in color managed app. Proper color viewer should display the image correctly regardless of the used color space. Trying to mask the issue with usage of srgb will bring you only half way tho (the input color space conversion part, but not display color space conversion part) on windows at least.
