The article about fuji states that they get occluded illumination but that they are indeed exposed, so could it be that they have set a local signal boost on these pixels ? And do they get a color filter ?

ah right, he does say "And, he says, they don't simply go to waste when taking pictures: 'sometimes they are used to compose image data and sometimes not, depending on the situation.'". I guess you can use the information if the pixel is in focus, but if a pixel is not in focus, you don't know what the other half would have looked like, so maybe these are the ones that are mapped out. In the Fuji design, you have pairs of sensels, so presumably if a pair has the same signal it counts as matched
