There is no guarantee that a replacement body will not have 1 or more hot/stuck pixels.
My *istD had 3 when I got it, & I didn't notice them until I did a specific hot pixel test. I exclusively shoot RAW so it's never been an issue. Out of the 10 million plus photo sites on the K10D's CCD (technologically, quite a bit different to an LCD), if only 1 is faulty your in pretty good shape.
