Good point, hence I'm no longer sure of my previous idea. On the contrary,
I'm afraid you are right and I need someone else's help now: can we take for
granted that any pixel is always present within the histogram?

First, I agree that blown highlights can just be another way to show the
right part of the histogram. However, that's not always true: just think
of a bright sky in a corner of a backlit building almost filling the
picture: the histogram could well describe the light distribution within
the backlit building and you'll be fooled by a perfect histogram missing
the sky (far right, outside the histogram scale).
I thought that the histogram was generated from every pixel of the JPEG
image generated by the camera? (PEF RAW files contain such an image too).
I don't see how it can "miss bits".
