They're just a design element.

Since I have two black limited lenses and one silver, my black K-7 is
therefore more limited than this one. I don't care at all about this
focusing screen. I'd rather Pentax improved on the mechanical tolerances so
that I would have actually precise manual focusing with my K-7...

 One does wonder why they bothered.

For the same reason that brought us the multi coloured K-x, most likely. :-)

Seriously, though, it's a collector's item. It says in the press
release that only 1000 cameras will be produced.

When I get a K7 (or successor), I want that focus screen!  I have it on my 
PZ-1p, and have missed it on my istD and K10.

The main K-7 housing is magnesium alloy. However, some parts like card  
battery covers are plastic.

Gone digital? I'm always looking for old Pentax film cameras and
lenses to fit Pentax, (either K-mount or M42 screwmount). Also have a
weakness for twin lens cameras.

So after almost 10 years Pentax finally releases a camera body to match 
the original Limited lenses.  In a format they weren't originally 
designed for.  Anyone else see the Irony in that?

One does wonder why they bothered.
I'm waiting for the DA* SDM edition that doesn't work at all.
