Interesting...
I do not recall your report ever describing YOUR alleged issue as "nasty" or even a "problem." Instead, it was characterized more like a minor product personality quirk associated with a narrow set of conditions quite possibly found to some degree in DSLRs built by all manufacturers. Plus, the work around is easy.
May I ask why you risk the independence and integrity of your testing procedure by using a sample offered specifically to you by the manufacturer? Why don't you just buy one from random stock, quickly run your "test" before the return period expires, then return it for credit, if need be, or keep it for your own use? Your giving a free pass to a provided unit will not resolve any doubts for those who wish to exploit the issue.
Also, given the huge number of "no problem" reports from other users of the K-X and K-7 regarding your inquiry, why would Pentax indulge your urge to "test" with a new model showing no reported issues, then run the risk of having a hidden flaw in your procedure cloud their reputation?
Something does not add up. Help me understand...
