+1 on the 12-32

I have no experience with the Oly 14-42 EZ.  I did try the Pany 14-42 PZ and was disappointed in the images. I also disliked the power zoom.

I use the 12-32 on my E-PM2 with good results.  I have Lens IS priority ON as I think the Pany OIS is a bit better than the limited IBIS in the E-PM2 (not the case with E-M5 or E-M1).

It is not a pancake but it is certainly compact and I have been pleased with the results.  I agree that I would gladly trade the 32 to 42 focal lengths to have the extra width of 12 vs 14 mm.

My advice: skip the pancake zooms and get the 12-32.
