I think the problem is with the spot color. If I understand correctly, you are overlaying a semi transparent spot color gradient on a CMYK image. This gets complicated because the behavior of the spot color when printed on top of the other colors is unknown. For example, it depends on the opacity and dot gain of the spot color. I don't think the proof is reflecting reality, but lets see what others think.
