As no one else has had this observation of bad color from their K-7, and knowing as we do that you are an experienced photographer who would not overlook a bad setting within the camera menus, nor not have your Lightroom and or RAW software out of kilter, I might suggest that you have a bad camera.

Selling it won't fix it.

One thing strikes me as odd:

when I open Lightroom, the colours in all thumbnails of my pictures
taken with the K10D look just as they do once the pictures have been
opened to display them on the whole screen.

The thumbnails from the K-7 look quite odd and so do the pictures right
after opening the full-screen view. After a moment, the colour change
markedly. I've never observed anything like this with my K10D.

Also, many of the files from the K-7 (normal outside shots on a sunny
day) open with the "as shot" WB selection showing grotesquely high
magenta values (40 and more) in the WB section and totally oversaturated
squeaky blue skies (requiring corrections by as much as -50 for blue
saturation).

I'm really beginning to despair and there isn't much left to keep me
from simply selling my K-7 again.
