This explains everything. The color of the sea is outside of the sRGB gamut. Here you can see the problem area in red with soft proofing enabled:
Areas in the red will not display correctly when exported to sRGB. You can also see it when toggling between soft proofing and off with the out of gamut overlay disabled. The problem is much less pronounced when you use displayP3 gamut but is present even in adobeRGB. So if you export to sRGB, you will indeed see the problem but only on a wide gamut m

The problem is much less pronounced when you use displayP3 gamut but is present even in adobeRGB. So if you export to sRGB, you will indeed see the problem but only on a wide gamut monitor. This is why the problem disappeared when you set your monitor's profile to sRGB. So to export this image correctly, you need to use displayP3 gamut in the export settings (neither sRGB or adobeRGB will work) and make sure to only watch it in color managed apps. Luckily nowadays most browsers are color managed so it is perfectly OK to use displayP3 for your jpegs destined for web display.
What "profile built-in"?
When I import the DNG, there is no camera profile provided (as I'd kind of expect). Seems indeed this DNG may not be following DNG spec as it should but that's above my pay grade to analyze.
Here's what I see upon import, Profile Missing:
Yes this is correct , LR does not show any profile... however if you go Lens Correction section and you click on " i Build-in Lens Profile applied" you will get pop-up screen telling you - Hasselblad L2D-20c which according to the Adobe Camera RAW Website still lacks support... it is not listed as supported camera. Strange.

The name of the profile suggests that this is a custom profile. Because that custom profile is not installed on your system, the 'missing profile' warning is as expected in that case.
Thank you for your assistance! As I said it is making me crazy.... This is how it looks at my end - on the left is LR Develope module screen shot of DNG and on the right is screen shot of exported DNG as JPEG in IrfanView.... color of the water definitely does not remain the same once exported. Thank you all for the sugestions and help. Over and out.

Read my reply above (this forum is terrible at chronologically ordering the posts). This is exactly as expected. The water color is outside of sRGB and WILL shift if you export to sRGB. It is indeed the well known sRGB blue purple problem. You need a wider color space to capture the color of the water. Nothing to do with Lightroom or the dng files. It is just a round peg and square hole problem colorwise.
Yup, I exported the DNG into ProPhoto RGB and then plotted the image gamut over sRGB. As seen, all colors out of the sRGB color gamut are blues:
sRGB isn't your friend here!
The Develop module isn't crippled by this small gamut color space. And in that module, IF you set up a soft proof for sRGB, you should see his color 'shift' as you toggle sRGB on and off.
