Question Canon 60D hot pixes, they dissapear in DPP

Just obtained 60D..
And, of course, one of the first things to check were hot pixels.
I took one raw dark shot, 30 sec at ISO1600, then I stretched the histogram quite a bit, and there was one green in the upper left corner, but it disappeared after a while from DPP window.
On the DPP menu I clicked on "Adjustments -> "Revert to shot settings" and the hot pixel was back.. only to disappear again in couple of seconds.
Obviously, DPP is removing hot pixels automatically, without elaborate settings..
But when I inspected one raw dark frame taken with my 400D, the hot pixel (on another place of course, and it was red) remained where it was, even after quite a long time.
As if only 60D raw files are affected?
Anybody knows what's going one here? Such behaviour is not documented for DPP.. at least not to my knowledge..

Apart from this one, there were no other hot pixels to stick out.. and banding was significantly fainter than that of 400D.. so I am pretty happy with this camera for now.
Waiting for some free time to test it on stars..
