I also have an OM-4 and T-32, but no T-32 manual. It says nothing about
this in the OM-4 manual. I *never* shoot at 1/30th with the OM-4/T-32 but
let it automatically set the shutter speed to 1/60th when the flash is
charged. Never had any problem with the sync at 1/60th either.
The *only* accidental dial shifting I've ever encountered is the exposure
compensation ring around the ASA dial and rewind crank (when opening the
"never-ready" case it occasionally turns the ring). I'm as baffled by this
as you are.
The only 1/30th requirement for the T-20/T-32 I know of is the need to do
this with an OM-10 when the Manual Adapter is plugged in. (For this reason
I remove the manual adapter when the flash goes on to let it sync 1/60th.)
