I have used several OM lenses on my E-1 and never had any underexposed 
pictures. Of course I put it on A or P, certainly not S or M (ok, M 
would work if metered after stopping down).
I just run a short test with ESP as well as CWA. No difference here.
Shutter speed goes down correctly with each f-stop in both modes 
(predicted as well as actual when taking the picture.

Are you sure you didn't accidentally put it on S?

cheers
