.. When I said "it doesn't matter except when looking at the viewfinder
read-out", I of course had in mind "when using the camera's autoexposure
metering".  Sorry to state the obvious (eek, it wasn't to me!)

Nevermind.  Found the answer on the OM-FAQ:

"Due to the semi-silvered mirrors in the OM-{2S, 3(Ti), 4(Ti), and PC} you
must use a circular polarizer with them, otherwise your exposures will be
off by 2-3 stops.  The OM-{1(N), 2(N), 10, G, and F) do not have a
semi-silvered mirror, and can thus use linear polarizers without any
problem."
