Thanks, Moose. I just experimented with a red pillow on the couch
behind me, and I think I see what you are getting at. The histogram in
the finder is gray, but, if I adjust the exposure back to the left, I
seem to get rid of the highlight in the red pillow.
Am I on the right track?

Are you "underexposing" by 2/3 to 1 1/3 stop? In the process of
balancing all sorts of factors, the exposure systems in our little
gems will happily allow us to clip the red channel. On subjects like
this, expose to retain red channel highlight detail/separation. Later,
in post, you can raise the middle tones with Levels or other tools.
If you get that right, I think you will find the problem becomes
eminently manageable.
These two images do have blown red channels, but I can't tell from
here how much may be original exposure and how much processing.
but I managed to grab a couple of images.

Missed focus a little, but still quite compelling.
