I have a K-5 and never had such issues. Your bikeride sample looks pretty 
underexposed (-1 EV).

I think the default profile is okay.

A pure guess. 
Have you switch on "dynamic range expansion" like highlight protection and 
shadow recovery?
The landscape picture looks a bit like that.

To avoid clipping in the highlights the camera underexpose and applies another 
"tone curves" for the jpegs. This won't work with raw developers who can't 
interpret this maker specific settings. So the raw file is underexposed and you 
might need to tweak it by yourself. Or even better switch highlight protection 
and shadow recovery off and expose for the highlights if needed.
