Thanks, Moose, for making me look.  Yes, the flash (small one that comes with 
the camera) was set at -0.3, not the exposure.  I will repost a new version so 
the list can see what the M-1 can do on its' own.  Just got it, and it will 
take a while to get used to the menus.  But, I'm happy I got it.

EV of -0.3 doesn't seem enough to explain such underexposure. Metering was set 
for Multi-Segment, Oly's current name for what they originally called ESP 
metering, on the OMPC. It's usually not fooled by this sort of subject.

Also, EXIF says flash was used. Flash has its own, separate EV setting. I can't 
see what it was in the EXIF. Neither EXIFtool nor Viewer 3 seems to be able to 
'see' all the camera settings, so I don't know. But is it possible that Flash 
exposure compensation was set lower?
