I think this is due to the fact white balance and automatic contrast
is lost in the RAW picture. (Aren't they) These algorithms are often
proprietary and only available in the (windows based) software.
Under overexposure in part of the picture is always a "big" problem. A
"real" solution would would be shooting HDR ;o) and pick the layer
with the best exposure in the several parts of the picture. Marking
the parts is another thing...
