It's very rare that a manufacturer would do much for one dead or hot pixel. Most consider warranty work for 25 to 100 dead or blown pixels, depending upon their distribution. After all, 1 dead pixel in 10.1 million is barely worth worrying about... It's worth a phone call to Pentax Customer Service, however, to get their specific policy.
Camera Raw, Lightroom and other RAW conversion software perform dead/ hot pixel replacement during RAW conversion so they are rarely a problem. Vuescan does not, so I use it to determine when I have hot or dead pixels ... otherwise I wouldn't know. I'm not yet very familiar with the Apple RAW converter, don't know what it does.
