Alexander, Your code that parses TIFF tags and TIFF data types should not be messing with the ICC profile data. Code that works with ICC profiles that run on a Windows platform knows that all the ICC profile is big endian ( like an "MM" TIFF file ) and should do the proper byte swapping for shorts and longs inside the ICC profile code. BUT: if you try to read a short or long from an ICC profile with Windows code, the bytes will be in the wrong order. The moral of the story: you might be trying to do something that a Color Management System library should do for you.
