You might have to manually synchronize the metadata between Lightroom's database catalog and the files: - In the metadata browser panel on the left, click on your Pentax cameras and then Command- or Control- click on the "Unknown" item in the lens category. That should select everything not already properly digested into the library that was taken with a Pentax body. - Then select all and use the "Metadata->Save Metadata to file" command to ensure that all edits are written to all selected files. - Once that completes, use "Metadata -> Read Metadata from files" ... For DNG files, use the "Metadata -> Update DNG Metadata & Preview" command. That will let Lightroom re-import all the lens metadata and interpret it correctly in the database. I had to close the database and re-open it for the metadata browser to properly reflect all the new entries. With Lightroom v1.3, all the Pentax lenses shipped so far are properly listed in the metadata browser now, as far as I'm aware.
