After spending a moment with an empty OM-4 (same body, basically) I guess I 
only ever noticed the rewind button not popping up when I put a body away 
empty.  In the course of reloading, the first time you advance the film, the 
button pops right back up; has nothing to do with the door being open or shut.  
Maybe since I remember it only happening a couple of times is an indication of 
how seldom I don't reload.
