If you compare the size of the OM-D with past OM film SLRs you'd see the OM-D is quite similar in size.

The first film OM-1 was the smallest of the OM series and in that time the smallest film SLR. Dimensions were 136x83x81mm.

Dimensions of the OM-D are 122x89x43mm. So it's 14mm smaller, only 6mm higher and has nearly half the thickness. I think you can not say that the OM-D is normal SLR sized, it's really noticeably smaller.

What? Did you measure the OM-1 with the lens on?

The E-M5 is indeed only a little bit smaller than the OM-1 and for someone who has used the mechanical marvel since the 70's it fits right into the hand.
