Did you try "Pixel Mapping" in settings, menu 4 of your camera ? I got some trouble with "hot pixel", but I could solve the problem with this function.

I didn't. It doesn't look like the usual stuck pixels. I'll give it a test on the off-chance.
Rawtherapee's hot-pixel function in the demosaic section seems to do a good job of removing stuck pixels too

Newbie here. I've been messing with this issue a bit as well and haven't really made much progress. If it's any help here's my findings after doing the firmware update to v1.5 (v1.40 addressed this issue - well apparently it did). Granted I did this on the K-1 mark 1 instead of K-1 II, but the difference I did see seems negligible, and if anything worse. Settings were 2min exposure at ISO3200 with the lens cap on: I did this purely to test the before and after difference. I've had worse issues with this than seen below when doing actual star photography. Maybe the cold has an effect? Anywho, 1:1 crops:

Very interesting. I did the same test "before and after" the Pixel Mapping with K1 mark 1, V1.5. But I got rid of the problem. I used 30s and ISO100 for my comparision with lens cap on in a dark room.
