Barry, Thanks for your excellent comment and explanation. Raw Digger showed 0% over-exposure and 0% under-exposure. So in reality, this was a pretty much perfect exposure.

with love, artie

ps: while I espouse exposing to the right, and practice it as well, most folks, including me, would have a problem capturing RAW files that look like totally over-exposed garbage … Even if they offer small gains in image quality. Please remember that several of my images over the past 18 years of digital have turned out OK. And at times, some folks become so concerned with being technically correct that the forget that idea is to make powerful images.

Mike, Exposure warnings are always just that, warnings. As they are based on the embedded JPEGs, there is always some recovery latitude.
