[OM] problem with 65-116 & 80 macro

I just got a beautiful 65-116 from a well-known list member in a deal we
both felt good about.  It works fine with my 50/3.5 macro and my 85/2,
but it doesn't seem to work with my old style, preset aperture Zuiko 80
mm f/4 1:1 macro lens.  Since the first two lenses seem to expose
correctly, I'm pretty certain that there is nothing wrong with the
65-116 extension tube (it is too pretty to be broken, anyway).  Does the
preset 80 macro not work here?  It seems to produce far too short an
exposure time on auto with my OM-4Ts, but the exposure time seems about
right after making a spot metered measurement.  I'm puzzled.  Am I doing
something wrong or will this not work?  (usual screwups are not the
problem: film in the camera, new S76 silver oxides, lens aperture collar
rotated to preset stop, etc.)
