Lightroom/Camera Raw: Fuji GFX Raw File White Balance Issues - Magenta Tint

When importing Fuji GFX RAW files into PS/LR, using ACR, the ACR 'as shot' WB shows a significant +CC offset, and a -K offset, and is not in line with the K or CC values in-camera. This results in an image which is cooler than shot, with a magenta color cast. This is prevalent across the GFX50S and GFX50R, and appears to be an issue with the way ACR is interpreting the WB metadata in the Fuji RAW file.

Looks fine, but as we have no idea how the WB was set in the camera for this test shot, it doesn't help us.

On shots where the camera is in AWB mode, shooting daylight scenes, or studio scenes with strobes, the WB issue is very prevalent. Yet the in-camera JPEG WB looks accurate.

If I take a color meter reading of the light at time of capture, the metered K and CC values are significantly different to those shows as 'as shot' in ACR. ACR always shows cooler K and +CC.

If I use the Fixed Kelvin WB option on the GFX to dial in the K from the meter, the displayed results in ACR do not match the WB values set in camera, and show a CC+10 offset as well.

This is across multiple GFX bodies, and multiple computers running PS and LR current versions.

In general daylight ambient photography, and studio strobe photography, the -k and +CC WB issues are easy to spot, once you're alerted to it.

I downloaded a Fuji GFX 50S RAF file with calibration chart and it has no WB tint with LR set to 'As Shot.' The colorchecker patches are neutral. The actual WB values will be slightly different due to how Adobe interprets the camera's values, but the onscreen image should be correct.

What do you see with the below RAF file?
