Would an Olympus Zuiko Digital 14-42mm 1:3.5-5.6 ED kit lens (from an E-P1) work with newer m4/3 bodies (including E-PM2, E-PL7, EM-10) with no issues?

If it is the original M. ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 14-42mm 1:3.5-5.6 from the E-P1, it should work with no issues. I would be very careful that it is an m. zuiko lens, which is the designation for Micro Four Thirds cameras.

The description you have above in your OP is very similar to the kit lens description from the older four thirds DSLRs, which can work, albeit slowly, with an adapter, and overall, is a considerably larger lens.
