I think this is a universal problem with wide angle lenses, at least on the Pentax bodies I have. But I only have a limited number of wide angle lenses to test with, obviously.
Question: are you saying that live view is accurate? That's been my experience - except for a few difficult cases. The worst for me has been lumber - even knots in lumber, which makes no sense.

Live view AF or MF?
I have about 98% success with live view AF, and very limited success (50%?) with viewfinder AF. But that's only where some accuracy is required, so at f16 viewfinder AF starts looking okay. Viewfinder AF does usually get somewhere in the ballpark. So whenever I have time I use MF or live view AF. I do have one situation where I have easily reproducible live view AF failure, though, but only with one lens. In that same situation, viewfinder AF is useless with any lens I've tried.
