I have a D90 but also noticed this with my old D70.
I usually set my camera on shutter priority when I'm out shooting. Of course, if I stumble upon something interesting and have time to set-up, I'll switch to app. priority if necessary.
As I understand it, if I choose priority "shutter", the in camera metering will select the correct app setting in order to expose my pic as needed.
There are many times when I choose a priorty and snap the pic - there will be blown out areas...sometimes very bad depending on the scene.
Isn't the "programing" in the camera supposed to compute and choose the correct setting of the "unchosen" priority to avoid the overexposure? If so....are more expensive cameras...say $2500 better at this than say a $600 camera?
I hope this makes sense.
