Vignetting is a darkening of the corners. Since the spot meter is directly
in the middle of the frame, vignetting can not possibly be the reason for
the meter's inaccuracy.
To answer your question, no, you don't have to compensate. You have to find
another way to take a meter reading. The factory itself says the spot meter
is "unreliable".

I had not heard or read this before on the list and I have been
around for a while. I have not noticed it in my experience and I use
the spot function quite a lot. I have not tested for it though.
Where or when has Olympus made such a statement? Not in the manual
which explains clearly how the angle(not on the focus screen) changes
when changing lenses.
I don't understand stand why the spot would be unreliable and center
weighted would be OK since CW also uses the spot portion of the
sensor.
