It appears that you guys are correct. There does seem to be 3-4 pixels that are visibly 'buggered'. I have contacted the vendor, but I don't hold much hope for a fix. I bought this camera in the USA, and I am in Australia. Warranties aren't usually international unfortunately.
I will contact the Australian distributor as well, and see what they can do. In the mean time, it's not really a problem anyway. It's nothing that I can't fix with a bit of judicious cloning in PS.

There are at least three buggered pixels that show up in the same place in the frame regardless of orientation.
