I was going to comment that it seemed like you've have issues on the
the low end too (you lose the hue information), but it looks like you
can't recover from a 0 saturation in a later filter, as you only have
multiplicative adjustments.  (My color adjusters in Colors 4 can do
additive adjustments to saturation, so I keep the hue information
around when possible.)

Even if they are available by other means, I think it's worthwhile to
reproduce them here, so that you have a complete and
easy-to-understand interface.
