Dear David, I don't think this is a problem but first: Why do you "test" the chip/camera for a situation that you are unlikely to use?
As an example: it is similar as printing a very soft Negative on a grade 10 paper (should that exist, it does not) You would get rubbish showing up that you never saw on the enlarger easel. I was stuck the other day with a lens that only stopped down at random resulting in the opposite what you did: 4-5 stops overexposure. (You underexposed. How many stops?) I could not save the raw files with the limited -2 stops compensation that is available. When I received the camera I also did what you have done in order to find the limits. If your exposure (with Matrox1 setting) is within 1.5 stops you can get away with murder. I also shot sunlit pictures with the Tungsten settings and to my surprise the Canon Software (in raw format) converted all pictures within seconds to daylight. Amazing. Try the same test from a conventional scanned picture and see the difference: Much worse. Formula one Cars don't have a Rev. limiters build in to engine management but going into reverse at 240mph is impossible. But you can with a Canon.
