Yes, multiple times. I've now looked through some more pictures and noticed a little cluster of "stuck pixels". I use Capture One and I tried to combat the problem with the "single-pixel" slider though it doesn't really do the job completely, it helps but there's still some pixels sticking out.

Is this defect in any of your earlier pictures? I'm guessing it is there and you didn't notice it?

I wonder if the previous owner knew about this problem and that's why it was up for sale?

I had a similar problem with my X-E1 and it turned out to be a speck of dust on the inside of the rear element of my lens. I tried a different lens and the problem went away. But your problem does not sound like it is the same.

It might be useful to get a skilled pro to look at the sensor. Maybe a sensor cleaning is all you really need (not just the one the camera provides, but a professional cleaning). The bubbles you show in your photo look odd to me though.

PS looking again, it seems the bubbles are just poorly focused dust particles on the sensor cover glass.
