Looking at the Image Quality page of the E-M1 preview where the GX7 image is shown along with the E-M1 and E-M5, the GX7 image looks less sharp than the others. Of course, that could be caused by the lens, but at this point I'm not convinced the GX7 sensor is all that good. I'll look forward to the full reviews.

In addition, the E-M5 image looks sharper than the E-M1. Could these be lens or focus issues?

Those differences are pretty much only visible at huge enlargement levels, viewed close up. On prints or monitors viewed at normal distances you'd never be able to see those differences in sharpness.

And, as you suggest, DPR doesn't always seem to do a very good job of holding the focus point on these comparisons. That's why I pay more heed to sites like Luminous Landscape, which judge image quality doing what these cameras are designed to do:  making photographs.
