I had a look at the GIMP palette file. Maybe I don't understand or this is documented somewhere, but what I saw was a set of RGB triples with no indication of the colour space used and no indication of whether a given triple was an exact match for the printed swatch (which I assume is the reference) or whether it was out of gamut.
Bo, you got it exactly right :)
It would be very interesting to see Lab values for these swatches as well as RGB values (and to know which RGB colour space was intended - sRGB?).
I'd suggest to just use SwatchBooker's native file format for reference. It supports arbitrary color models and ICC profiles.
