I am aware of the problem of red channel data clipping even while the camera histogram looks fine.
All the digital cameras (non-DSLR Canons, Panasonics, Ricohs) I used had this "feature". It usually matters little IF the red (especially dark red) is the subject. So while shooting a red-rich flower I always underexpose. Trying to "expose to the right" never works for those. The newer cameras (including my K3) are better in making files which can be adjusted later with much less penalty of noise. The same may apply to blue flowers as well but my experience with dark/rich blue flowers are not much. >Most of the time the dynamic range on the later sensors is so good, >that running a bit under on the raw images is no problem at all.
