Sadly, no.
I like the E-20 design. It has a couple indentations for anti-rotation screws.
If you have access to some simple machine tools, and don't mind a slight mar or
the OM4, you can drill and tap a hole in the quick release plate for a
hex-wrench set-screw. It will make a slight indentation and a tiny circular
scratch on the camera baseplate, but that sucker WON'T rotate then!
