I have not read very deeply into this subject, but I remember reading something that indicates that the specks should not be big enough to see with the naked eye. If your spots continue to show up in exactly the same place, I would try swapping lenses before mailing the thing out to pentax. Sorry if that sounds very obvious and is something you have already tried, but this is the only helpful thing I can think of to say. Good luck, I know how frustrating that is. I had to clean my sensor three times the last time I did it, so I used up three pecpads. Those aren't cheap.
