Two more thoughts:

One is that clouds may need more careful exposure than I thought and maybe in this regard don't respond well to ETTR. Looking at the X3F in SPP again the problem relates to areas of cloud that I had exposed a little too far to the right - the clouds needed -0.3 on the Exposure slider to bring them under the highlight warning (I was at the time more concerned about the shadows).

OK

ETTR is probably a bad idea for clouds then, maybe always.

Now although the problem isn't visible in SPP I just tried the Highlight Control slider moving it fully to the left (Neutralise) and then I exported the TIF into ACR and from there exported a JPG. The colour issues in the JPG are no more and so maybe this is the solution? When I next get a moment I can try and post the findings.

That it is more visible in JPEG is not strange at all. When converting to JPEG, there are some compression of tonality made in bright areas.
