Problem with embeding a cmyk-icc-profile in a psd-file

When I use IM IM 6.5.4 I have converting
between jpg and psd I have made these observations:

- when I use the cmd: convert test_cmyk_med_profile.psd test777.jpg
then the cmyk icc-profile in test_cmyk_med_profile.psd is maintained in test777.jpg

- when I use the cmd: convert _MG_0181_small.psd test44.jpg
then the rgb icc-profile in _MG_0181_small.psd is maintained in test44.jpg

- when I use the cmd: convert test_cmyk.jpg test_cmyk.psd
then the cmyk icc-profile in test_cmyk.jpg is gone in test_cmyk.psd

- when I use the cmd: convert test.jpg test.psd
then the rgb icc-profile in test.jpg is maintained in test.psd

Is there any way to embed a cmyk icc-profile in a psd-file?

The files used in this examples can be found in http://javabog.dk/filer/psd/

So, the problem is
- when I use the cmd: convert test_cmyk.jpg test_cmyk.psd
then the cmyk icc-profile in test_cmyk.jpg is gone in test_cmyk.psd

identify -verbose test_cmyk.jpg gives:
Profile-icc: 557168 bytes
U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2

this is gone in test_cmyk.psd (also on Linux using ImageMagick 6.4.5 2009-06-04 Q16)
