The kind words and critiques are much appreciated.
In your opinion, wouldn't these two balance out the other?

And moreover -- the overexposure only occurs when the external flash is ON-CAMERA. I have found exposure to be excellent, and very reliable, when bouncing an off-camera flash, using wireless optical P-TTL controlled by the internal flash on my K-5.
To me, this points directly toward a firmware bug.

In my case, about 1.5 - 2 stops. See pics below
First pic is direct flash (normal exposure), then upward flash tilt to point just before tilt icon appears on flash LCD screen (still normal exposure), then a fraction more tilt to activate the flash LCD tilt icon (overexposure)

I remember there were reports of over-exposure in bounce position of some Metz flashes without using pTTL, just the A setting of the flash. I wasn't able to reproduce these effects, at least on a regular base, but other members of this forum could.
They found out that there was no malfunction if, after switching the flash to bounce, they once recalled the flash program (profile) that they already were using. So it seems this problem is/was related to the flash firmware or to the camera/flash interaction, and not to the camera itself.
EDIT:
You can find one of the threads if you start with post #26 (edited!) of https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/pentax-flashes-lighting-technique/176988-...er-advice.html
I think there were some even older threads about this subject, too.

I just tested with the K-01, exposure was perfect with the flash up. I will try to post some pics later.
Also retested with K7 and it did overexpose (with flash dialed back -1.5 exposure was good)

The off-axis test should be repeated by someone with a Pentax flash. Same thing happens with bounce flash with K-5 & Sigma 530 Super (GN 53). I usually end up using the K20D with the Sigma if I want to use flash much.
