I've wondered whether the focal length is before or after any distortion correction myself. Are you sure that the focal length corresponds to the uncorrected view?
I opened the ORF in a trial copy of (I think) Capture 1 and found wide angle images were wider than jpegs (as well as distorted).
ExifTool reports the image-width and image-height of an E-M5 ORF RAW image-file recorded with 4:3 aspect-ratio as 4640x3472 - representing only a 0.694% increase in width and a 0.463% increase in height (relative to 4608x3456).
The corresponding diagonal pixel-dimension is only 0.579% larger in value as a result.
Using the 3.73 Micron pixel-pitch that published DxOMark information lists for the Olympus OM-D E-M5, the (diagonally-referenced) Focal Lengths are the following proportions (as compared to the 43.267mm diagonal of a 36mm x 24mm 35mm film frame-size divided by a Crop Factor of 2.0).
1.009248 times Focal Length for 4608x3456
1.003118 times Focal Length for 4640x3472
Lots of processing is going on. The corrected image is stretched/interpolated so that it has the output size that the specs say it should have.
PS - Here's a more extreme example, showing how a 24mm equivalent LX3 image looks before and after being 'corrected' :
