Panasonic GH2 RAW files go deep green with latest update

I updated my machine yesterday for the RAW updates. There is an issue here as far as I can tell with the Panasonic GH2 precessing. GH2 RAW files thumbnails look fine but Aperture, iPhoto and Preview all show a dark deep green image. Silkypix shows the correct image from the same file.
Is anyone else seeing this?

iMac 24, Mac OS X (10.6.2)

I get the same results, even though I installed the latest free trial version of Aperture & Apple's new RAW software update (I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.5).

GH2 JPEG photos look fine in every app I've opened them in, but the RAW images are extremely green-ish everywhere (QuickLook, Preview, Mail, iPhoto 8.1.2, etc.) except for the Finder's miniature file icon thumbnails & in the SilkyPix app included with the GH2.

Same issue here. Have posted to Aperture feedback and included a link to an example. I was shooting raw + jpeg until the camera became supported, so it's very blatant the raw processing isn't working. I tried using a range of camera settings to see if some of the intelligent DR features were tripping it up, but always the same result, even with all the advanced features all turned off.

What would be interesting is to hear if anyone is NOT experiencing this problem with GH2 raws.

Here's a link to the sample:

Same here. (Picasa renders these files weirdly, too.)
The GH2's JPGs look great, but RAW files are greenish and very dark (dark enough that darker areas that are clearly visible in the jpg can't be rescued from black with any amount of exposure or brightness tweaking from the raw.)

I've sent a report to Apple, and I hope they fix this soon.

This is BS! I've seen I don't know how many complaints about this green image stuff in various places. At different times, different fixes have worked for some. Shame on Apple. Remember Jobs years ago saying that the problem with Microsoft was that they made really 3rd rate products? This has gone on long enough, unless they're trying to become the next Microsoft. I've used all Apple since the first Mac and I appreciate their quality. But when something goes on this long, I don't think they really care that much. Where can I get my money back on this thing? SilkyPix works fine. I'll manage with it and iPhoto.
