But what I find interesting is that every once in a while someone will have that problem, but I've owned 5 different Pentax bodies by now (still have 3) and I've never experienced this, even when shooting in P mode.
Well, I think I may have solved it. I did a "reset all" on the camera on the theory that some combination of software selects is causing misbehavior in the auto-ISO function.
After the reset, I can see the camera changing ISO as I move from dark areas to light areas . . . and it wasn't doing that before.
