I doubt there is different between fluorescent or incandescent. With mixed
light in similar intensity illuminated from different angles you will create
color cast on some area no matter how you balance in post processing. I did
at least 5 company party events every year (for 10 years) and scanning
thousands similar negatives from local hospital authority I see the problem
there especially for stage shots where the spot light is too strong to
override, the 1/60s flash sync speed of OM camera make things more
difficult.
Here are two examples (not by OM I believe):
