Well, I find my Kx to behave more or less just like my K7 (got both) regarding highlights in bright, contrasty scenes (like sunny day out) : it needs -1ev to preserve them.
On the other hand, with overcast/shadow/indoor scenes, they both can take +1ev...
"Little RAW headroom" is just saying the same thing as "the camera renders highlights at the most of available data", that's all... Would be no point in having a camera capturing one extra stop but not using it in the JPG conversion...
What is important to me is the amount of data between highlights and shadows, and the Kx simply have one the the best APS-C DR around... OK, so you have to be careful in bright daylight, but that's ok by me...
AWB is not a problem for me, I find it does a nice job in tungsten, leaving a warm cast to the pic quite truthful to the scene...
Regarding the movie mode, well, I don't know if iso is limited, but the K7 behaves just like it (I made the test yesterday!)...
