>Can the cross-polarizer on T10 flash confuse metering on OM cameras?
Not in my experience, at least when using TTL auto. If you use the OM-4/2s
spot meter, the polarizer might interfere with exposure metering, depending
on its orientation with respect to the beam splitter.

Not human eyes, but take a look at the following. All were taken with the
90/2 macro at its closest focus and T-10 ring light WITHOUT
cross-polarizer, except for the last one which did have the x-pol.
These JPEGs are all about 80kB, so slow modems will take a while. These are
the scans supplied by the processor (Seattle Film Works), and are noticable
less sharp than the corresponding prints. Film is Kodak Gold 800.
