Thanks all! Even with highlight recovery disabled, we lose much of the details. Perhaps a programmatic way of doing something similar to what I did (computing some kind of (weighted) average of the original R-G-B-R photosite values and applying that to add fake luminance on top of 'average colour' surrounding the area) could work. Note that an exposure correction of -1EV combined with 'reconstruct color' brings out reasonable detail, though the previously blown-out part is still *much* brighter than anything around it.
Now, any idea about the behaviour of the colour picker (being unaffected by the highlight recovery method, and also displaying lower L value for the visually brighter spot)?
