I was observing the same issue since a recent update in precise (I have upgraded to quantal since then and the issue persisted).
Unsetting the ICC profile as suggested by Felix in comment #14 solved the issue.

Before unsetting the ICC profile, I took the test suggested in comment #19 (opened the image in gimp, and verified that ticking "Try to use the system monitor profile" resulted in the same washed out colours observed in eog). So it’s definitely an issue with the profile, not eog itself.
