T20 in PBG2 works fine with an A1 (using PC cord connection) - no smoke, no
worrying aroma.

I didn't try firing the T-32 from the Minolta A1. Since the TTL and flash
ready pins are shorted to ground I don't think the camera is in any danger
but I'm not sure about the T-32.
Perhaps AG has already risked a T-32 and knows the answer. Or maybe Tim
Hughes (who knows the innards of the T-32) can answer too.

Have you actually tried the shoe cord in the E-500 hot shoe? I was
reviewing a bunch of old notes from John Lind on Sunpak flash. In one he
comments that the OT-1D (Olympus dedicated module for Sunpak 422D and
others) is like the T-32 in that a non-conductive pin is used to lift the
TTL and flash ready signal pins when the module is inserted into a non-OM
hot shoe.
He contrasts this behavior with the TTL shoe cord which does not have this
"lift the pins" arrangement. Consequently, the pins remain down and are
potentially shorted. In addition, when he inserted the shoe cord into the
hot shoe of his Mamiya M645 the protruding pins caused the shoe cord to get
jammed in the shoe. He had to disassemble the hot shoe to get the shoe cord
back out.
