I do already understand that the new option "does something different" 
than the option in Preferences.

I do already understand that the new option is a "per image" option.

What I don't understand is why and how the new option produces different 
results for sRGB images vs images in other RGB color spaces.

Also, what is/are the use case(s) for disabling color management on a 
"per image" basis?

Best,
