Leopard Upgrade Screws With Color Calibration

I installed Leopard on my MacBook Pro 15″ Intel Core Duo yesterday (upgraded from Tiger 10.4.10) and noticed that all of my Color Calibration settings were missing, with the exception of the default Color LCD setting. Even so, the default Color LCD setting was horribly warm. I am a Computer Artist and perhaps scrutinize color settings more than most people. I have spent quite some time in the past to calibrate this LCD because I go between editing video and graphic design quite often. This requires two different color management settings from the System Preferences Pane. So, now all my calibration work is lost and I have to start from square one to calibrate my monitors.

When I first looked at the default Color LCD setting, the first Native Luminance Setting was found horribly askew. Take a look:

I wrote a post called Get Vivid Colors Out of Your Mac a while back that addresses how to calibrate monitors.

Is this happening to anyone else?
