I really love the superfast telefotos as this one ;o)
BTW: a bit off-topic for a rangefinder-forum ;o)
Wouldn't you love to see this form-factor (including user interface) and perhaps a better finder in a new digital 4/3M body? I would and if they could accept on PenF lenses with auto diaphragm I would be one VERY happy camper!
Oh to dream.....

How hard is it to focus when the lenses are stopped down?

I agree, but not too small. Just right.

Depends on how far you stop down, and how much ambient light there is.
The EVF will brighten automatically. The kit lens is f/3.5 to f/5.6, and it's quite usable in fairly dim light. Of course I prefer to use faster lenses, and focusing wide open and stopping down is no big deal to me. In daylight it is pretty easy to focus at shooting aperture.
I'm using a modified Pen extension tube set as an adapter. When the lens is mounted, there is a tab on the extension tube that stops the lens down. A properly designed adapter for µ4/3 would not have the tab. Then, you could just press the button on the lens to stop down, prior to taking the photo.

I'm currently adding some pics taken with the 60mm/1.5 under my flickr account with the tag penfzuiko60mm
While scanning with my Nikon V, I noticed that most of them coming out quite cool in color and needs to be color-corrected. Contrast is noticably lower than with the 40/1.4 and needs to be pushed a bit too. The OOF areas come out nicely though...
