That is indeed the actual render pass. It is not uncommon for the actual 
render to hit places where not a single sample is available despite all 
effort; even the most exhaustive pretrace cannot guarantee a 100% coverage.

As a matter of fact, from my experience a 50:50 ratio between pretrace- 
and final render samples is what I'd recommend to aim for, so your 
pretrace settings are probably quite ok right now.
