P: Merge to HDR automatically applies lens correction profile to Sony ARW (RAW) file

I'm using Lightroom CC, Sony A7r camera, generating Sony Raw files (AWR) and my problem happens with all of my Sony lenses (all of them have lens Profile Corrections, but I have it turned off on import).
I bring the images into Lightroom without lens correction. When I send my bracketed exposures into Merge To HDR with auto align and auto tone turned off, Lightroom automatically applies the lens correction profile. This is not a problem for most of my lenses as I want them corrected EXCEPT for my Sony 16 mm fisheye converter. I don't want lightroom to correct the fisheye distortion. I talked with someone using Nikon RAW files and Lightroom does not correct their fisheye distortion (don't know about other lenes). How can I prevent Lightroom from applying profile correction to my images upon sending them to Merge to HDR? Thanks

Steve,

NO LENS CORRECTIONS are being added by me.

Rikk, I've tried it on two computer running Lightroom with the same results. I can put a three file bracket into a shared Dropbox. Can you access my email and send me your email or how do I get them to you?

Also, if lens corrections are being applied before the merge, can't you just turn them back off after the merge, or is the result of the corrections baked into the DNG and the corrections cannot be turned off?

Eric,

That seems a little odd. Is there any chance you could send me a couple of HDR to Merge images taken with your 16mm lens via Dropbox or similar so that I could test them?
