Transparency in Acrobat / Preview / Indesign / PDF

I have a question concerning Acrobat Reader DC and the Preview App (Mac Sierra)

I was exporting a PDF for print from Adobe Indesign. When opening in the Preview App I am seeing color-changes in the transparent areas of the embedded TIFFs. When opening the same document in Adobe Acrobat (Reader & Pro) I do not see any color-changes in the transparent areas.

Is this a bug in the Preview App or is something in the export-/ color-settings of Indesign not the way it should be?

This is how the document looks in Preview:

This is how the document looks in Acrobat (Reader DC & Pro 8):

If someone has an idea what this is about, it would be a great help to know...

Thanks in advance!

Preview doesn't actually have a PDF viewer. It uses the built in PDF viewer in Mac OS. Which, indeed, has lots of bugs.

Okay, good to know! I guess that means that I should not be worried about sending the file to the printer if it gets shown correctly in all other applications?
