I reckon the thinking photographer just shoots flash in manual mode by the
GN. It's amazing how little the promise of ease and accuracy is borne out
with TTL.
My workaround with TTL is -2/3 on the exp comp dial. This usually gets
faces right on slide film if they are not right up against a wall. I don't
worry about it on negative film.

This is not a big problem for the thinking photographer. Just use -1 to
-1.5 exposure compensation with dark/far backgrounds and +0.5 with light
backgrounds. For cameras without direct exposure compensation dials like
the OM-1 and the XA, change the film speed. One does have to remember to
change it back!
