Interesting that you noticed this as well. I almost appeared to be the only one not being satisfied with colour rendition.
Although my problem with skin tones (and other colour twists) have been with the K-5 II (the K100D with its entirely different sensor never gave me such headaches), I suspect that the K-3 continued the same problem, at least when using certain RAW converters.
I identified part of the problem being ACR (as incorporated into LR) and switched to Capture One Pro accordingly.
If you haven't come across C1 yet, give the 30 day evaluation a spin. The colour editor is leaps and bounds better than what LR offers. Their K-3 profile is rather decent from what I've heard.
