Illustrator v26.0.3 Does not detect the embedded profiles of images placed. I have my CMYK working space set to GRACoL2006_Coated1v2, and the plicies are all set to preserve embedded profiles and to ask when there is a mismatch.
If I go to File-Place and select an image with an embedded profile, in this case U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2, I should be receiving a color mismatch warning, but I do not. When looking at the info palette the files color is simply described as CMYK. The resulting PDF file shows the image tagged with the GRACoL2006_Coated1v2.icc, which is the working space of the Illustrator document. Clearly it has ignored or not detected the embedded profile.
FYI-Creative Suite settings are synchronized.
Save it as a PSD file in Photoshop. If it doesn't change the warning then the file is not a proflem. Check the document profile in Illustrator. If that is the same as the image then there will be no warning.

The other couple of instances were a week or more ago, and encountered by others on my team, so I don't have visibility to them. We will now be watching for this kind of issue in supplied Illustrator files used as layouts.

The tiff file out of Capture One appears to be the problem. There is not much difference in a psd file format and a tiff, but enough for testing purposes. Glad you have this figured out now
