I rang them up to get the CMYK spec
they told me Euroscale would be fine
(I got the impression that they sort of regarded their (or their printers) profiles as a trade secret)
so I supplied Euroscale and RGB (Adobe98) as back up
and a cross rendered aim print for the Euroscale
and a read me file.
Short of sending it round with a couple of hired in 'door managers' along with the local chapter of the United Bikers I am at a loss as to what else I could have done. Or do you use the belt to threaten them with?

23:56, 00:54, 03.06???? go to bed.
The disturbing thing was that they seemed to be all of your examples at once. I too have met pretty much a) through f) but never half and half before ie RGB is fully an icc colour managed workflow and CMYK is not. Its is not normally possible to half know what you are doing is it?
Scrub the last question, never did me any harm.
