Same here. The mode dial lock is one of the improvements over the K10D I was looking forward to! Hopefully it doesn't piss me off over the long haul, but I THINK I wanted this.

My K10D with 16-50 has always had issues with locking focus when fully at 16mm. It would snap close to focused and then stop with the green hexagon just flashing.
My "fix" for it for the past two years has been to just put it in AF-C mode. The first focus-snap gets pretty close to the right focus and then I can shoot, even though it thinks "I'm not quite there".
With 1.31 it doesn't do that anymore. I can leave it in AF-S and 16mm and it locks focus and shoots like it ought to.
I'm still planning on getting a K7 this summer, but this little improvement (I swear I'm not imagining it) is welcome.

To add a correction to some information posted to this thread (for others who may google themselves here later): When the diffuser panel is pulled out, the flash zoom locks to the 13mm position, not 16mm. And it doesn't blink that number either - should be solid, with the zoom mode locked to MANUAL as well.
So.. any other zoom setting, especially if the number/zoom setting is blinking, indicates a problem with the flash.

Me too. I mostly just come to read all of the "for sale" posts so I can remind myself daily that I shouldn't be buying anything. :-(
