An
update from Cameraquest unfortunately indicates this will not be the case: "Focus is manual using the lens focusing helical
without integrated electronic interface or EXIF recording." This is a shame as the EXIF is the thing I care most about...

I hope this means that Olympus is getting also phase focussing detect in the next update, which means you can get focus confirmation for maual lenses.

If you have the VF-2, even focusing lenses as fast as f/1.1 is simple and accurate. In fact AF can be a disadvantage at this DOF as the camera may decide to focus on e.g. a model's fringe rather than her eyes.
Phase detect will require either a mirror (i.e. an SLR) or a translucent sensor - neither of which are likely to happen.
