I hope I'm not jumping the gun too much here, but it appears the black
pixel problem has finally been resolved!  Watching a loop of visible
imagery just now, I noticed a slight change taking place at 17Z today,
including a tweak to the scale and no more black pixels.  Upon further
inspection, the netCDF variable Sectorized_CMI:scale_factor changed
from 0.0002442 to 0.00031746 at that time.

I'm noticing this change for bands 1, 2 and 3.  This also makes the
new valid range for the visible bands 0.0 to 1.3.

Hooray!!
