Is that file supposed to be encoded linearly? Or some other curve? There 
doesn't seem to be an embedded ICC profile, so what you see depends on 
what profile you assign. Neither linear gamma sRGB nor regular sRGB seem 
right, and afaik the regular sRGB color space with its odd TRC is not 
much used for encoding HDR images. Such images really should be encoded 
linearly.

I'll try to put together a couple of high dynamic range linear gamma 
sRGB images and post them for you. It might take a couple of days.

Best,
