I see you have a hot discussion with Paul. May I interrupt you?

Shutter shock on my EM1 is 100% cured with "AntiShock=0" in the menu and "AntiShock Single" in the ControlPanel's shutter mode. See my famous thread about this ...

Either your EP5 sample behaves very different from any other camera or you fell into the same pit as others:

It is not enough to set AntiShock=0 in the menu, additinally you have to change your shutter mode to "Single Frame AntiShock" (in your SuperControlpanel grid, it is the rectangle symbol with the caret to the left, like this <>[] instead of this [] )

Did you verify that you didn't forget to do what CrisPhoto describes above? This has turned out to be the problem in other cases where people have reported continued problems with SS after turning 0-second AS on.

Maybe you already knew this before and did it like this, but you did not mention shutter mode at all in your text and this makes me wondering ....

Well ... I wouldn't call it a "hot" discussion, but I guess if allowed to continue, it could indeed get heated up. Anyway ... yes, that is how my camera is set up. After some further testing this afternoon with different lenses, I can safely say the following:

1) It doesn't happen at all when I use my Olympus Zuiko 14-54 w/adapter (although the AF, expectedly, is incredibly slow)

2) It doesn't happen at all when I use my Olympus Zuiko 25mm f/2.8 w/adapter (the AF is on the quick side with this lens)

3) It occurs with the Zuiko 14-42 w/adapter

4) It doesn't happen at all when I use my Olympus Zuiko 50mm f/2 Macro w/adapter

5) It happens 100% of the time when I use my Zuiko 18-180 w/adapter, although this has to be the worst choice of lens to use with an M4:3 camera. It's great on my E-5, though.

I beginning to suspect a possible problem with the M. Zuiko 14-42 R II and its interaction with the camera as well as a possible problem with the camera itself. Not sure at the moment. I need to shoot more and get the know the camera even better. The interesting thing ... to me anyway ... is that I'm not experiencing the ghosting at all when the M. Zuiko 14-42 R II is mounted to my E-PM2.
