Agreed...

That would be the most likely thing, but it may vary between applications.

If it is converted to aRGB, then it should still print much the same, except it may have lost a few very saturated yellow, green, and cyan tones that sRGB can't hold. But if it is assigned sRGB, then it will print incorrectly.
