Folks,

I was wrong in the above.  I had in fact looked at the wrong portion of
the "testepsg" output - judging based on the ESRI-morphed version instead
of the original.

The problem is a lack of LAEA support in libgeotiff which is rectified
by a patch produced by Even which I'll apply shortly as documented in:

   http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/3016

Sorry for my confusing statements.

Best regards,
