I haven't done the test, I can actually see the two pixels in my images. They're stuck on, and appear as bright dots. The same two pixels in every image, at least those with dark enough subject matter that they can be seen. I have dead pixels in my Canon Powershot G1, but the canon manual actually says that a certain few pixels will always die on the chips they used. They show up larger in those 3MP images, than the two pixels in the 6MP images from the *istD. The easiest way to spot dead pixels is to take an exposure with your lens cap ON. I encourage list members to try this, and let's see how many of you have them. If they are to be expected, then we can all just accept them, if not, then those of us that have them can send our cameras back to pentax for warranty repair.
