I am coming from shooting mostly b&w film, and some of the b&w shots I was getting at 12k-51k were a lot more usable than some of the prints/scans I end up making from pushed negatives

You're kidding, right? I also did BW in the Film days and even Iso 3200 had more noise than this. You take a shot at Iso 12800, raise two stops, raise contrast to 100 and lift tone curve. This corresponds let's say Iso 100.000. This wouldn't even be possible with film. And last but not least this isn't BW, right? Just convert it to BW and nobody will notice it.

Perhaps you misunderstand, I meant that the shots at 12k-51k on the digi were equivalent to the shots I was getting from some higher speed films (and even some lower speed ones!). I understand that it is significantly less visible with a bw conversion, but if I play with colours to similate colour filters then that can really make it much more visible on the bw image.

I'm really just trying to determine if my sensor is broken or not...
