I don't see it in the bundled Pentax software.
FWiW, PhotoME (version 0.79R17) has the same issue -- I can see the shutter count for a K-7 image, but not for an *ist D image.
PhotoME doesn't display shutter count by default, but if you press Ctrl + f to display the "Find" box at the bottom of the PhotoME window, and then enter "shutter count" (without quotes), it will display it if it's there, as it is for an image taken with my K-7.
But for an image taken with one of my *ist D cameras, the Find box turns red as soon as you get to "shutter c", and no fields are displayed except for the "overview" of common fields at the top (the one field that is dislayed if I type in just "shutter" has nothing to do with shutter count).
I'd say it appears that the original 2003 *ist D just doesn't store the shutter count. Again, this refers to the original 2003 *ist D, NOT the DS or DL.
