Is there something about the OM40 that makes it a better snapshot camera?

Yes, I think that is likely.

This is my first Zuiko zoom too. I've used the 85-250 before, but not
for a long time. It's received good comments on this list, so I'm hoping
I like it.
I had noticed that after I reassembled the lens, it is not quite parfocal
over the zoom range. The plane of focus shifts a small amount when
zooming. Is this normal? If not, how is it fixed? The only adjustment
I saw was in the front group, and I couldn't seem to get it any better
with that.

Yes, it would seem well suited for those kinds of photos. I'm assuming
that program mode will not work with a flash, but if I'm wrong, please
tell me.

Definitely! I've got a 2 series in my OM-4T and wouldn't give it up,
although I prefer the 2-4 over the split-image style. Of course, I will
then more than double the cost of the camera ;)
