Wouldn't be too hard to change the firmware to meter when it's pressed, and indicate that exposure. Or even to do stop-down metering in aperture priority mode.
Pentax, you listening?

I have never held an *ist, but I CAN GUARANTEE YOU that the lens gets stopped down during exposure.
Steve is correct, if you overexpose by the number of stops that the lens is away from wide open, you will achieve correct exposure. Now, welcome back to 1960, the world of manual exposure == the modern Pentax world.
