According to
this article, stabilization will work and there's a setting in the Oly to apply. I have experience going the other way with an Oly lens (70-300 mm) on the Panny body, and there is no stabilization.
Great point to bring up. I've also pm'd burkphoto asking him to comment in this thread.
This is from The Complete Micro 4/3 Lens List:
1. Manual lenses: Samyang, SLR Magic, Tokina and Voigtlander lenses do not have any electronics and so do not communicate with the camera. As a result, they don't support autofocus, the aperture must be set on the lens, and the camera will not record any information about the lens in the EXIF tags.
2. Software correction: All Olympus and Panasonic m4/3 lenses are automatically corrected for distortion on all micro 4/3 camera bodies. Lateral chromatic aberration (CA) is automatically corrected with all lenses on newer Panasonic bodies (G5 and newer) and newer Olympus bodies (E-M1 and newer). Older Panasonic bodies correct lateral CA only for Panasonic lenses, and older Olympus bodies do not correct lateral CA at all.
3. Optical Image Stabilization (OIS): Many Panasonic lenses feature OIS. Panasonic cameras and Olympus cameras announced after June 2012 (E-PL5 and newer) support OIS on all those lenses. Older Olympus bodies (E-M5 and older) support OIS only on lenses with a physical switch for the OIS. Lenses without that switch are labeled in [The Complete Micro 4/3 Lens List]. A few Olympus lenses support OIS, and these work on both Olympus and Panasonic bodies.
4. In-body Image Stabilization (IBIS): All Olympus cameras and recent Panasonic cameras (G9, G85, GH5, GX7, GX8, GX9, GX85) include IBIS. IBIS can be used with any lens. However,
OIS and IBIS should only be enabled at the same time on models supporting Dual-IS or they can conflict.5. Depth-from-Defocus (DFD): Newer Panasonic bodies use DFD to improve autofocus speeds (particularly continuous autofocus) over the standard contrast-detect autofocus (CDAF) provided by all micro 4/3 cameras. DFD is available with any Panasonic lens on Panasonic's newer cameras (G7, G85, G9, GH4, GH5, GX8, GX85 and GX9).
6. Minimum aperture: the minimum aperture on micro 4/3 and 4/3 lenses is f/22, except where otherwise noted in [The Complete Micro 4/3 Lens List].
7. Aperture ring: some Panasonic lenses have an aperture ring (the 15/1.7 for example). It works only on Panasonic bodies. On Olympus bodies, aperture can only be set from the camera.
8. 4/3 lenses: these are not native lenses, but can be used on micro 4/3 cameras with an adapter and have varying degrees of functionality. See the 4/3 addendum to [The Complete Micro 4/3 Lens List].
