I'm sure a 50mm lens in the 4/3 system will have longer working distance
than a 50mm lens in 35mm system when they have the same image coverage. But
ok, I'm also wrong, it will not have the working distance of a 100mm lens in
35mm system. Just check with the Zuiko 50/3.5, at 1:2 the distance scale
read 9", at 1:4 it read around 12.5", that means at 1:2 the 50mm lens in
E-system will have the working distance of 12.5".

make the 50 Macro for the E-4/3 a useful lens with an adequate working
distance for macro.  We'll just have to see what it looks like.  Of course,
I could be wrong and Olympus could screw it up too.
