Hi, I think this is exactly the problem. RAW converter replaces bad pixels (overexposures, hotpixels, etc.) with some "guessed" values. This is ok for single image, but when you have multiple image of the same area, then there is a chance that another image has "real" values. Currently Hugin does not have information about these "guessed" values. There are some workarounds like using thresholds, but the results are not optimal. Having this information directly from (integrated) raw converter would work better.
