I take back my comment about this problem only being Lightroom related - 
Photo Mechanic reads them the same. I wonder if the jpeg previews associated 
with the .dng files are corrupted in some way? Interestingly Finder shows 
them with a DNG icon but the size as 0 x 0, but Capture One renders them as 
full colour.
