(The 90/2 Macro is not listed as having this mechanism.)
So my vote would be that the 85/2 DOES HAVE the floating element, at least
in MC guise. I don't have an early Zuiko brochure in front of me, could
someone check an early 80's brochure for the same sort of language?
The surprise to me is that the vaunted 90/2 Macro doesn't have the
floating element correction. Perhaps it's corrected for close-up
distances already?
So it doesn't need the FE? But why would the two 50 Macro lenses need
such a device? Are 50's corrected more for infinity, even in the case of
the Macro lenses?

My brochure: OLYMPUS: A continuing tradition of Photographic Excellence
lists both the 85/2 and the 90/2 clearly as having the floating mechanism
together with the other lenses you have accurately listed.
