I had a problem like this too.  The mount cut out wears away from a right
angle through use, so I used a small file to cut the notch square again.
This helps, but I think the lens tab design on the OM series is its
Achille's Heel.  The other brands seem to have much more robust designs.
When I have a big lens on my bodies I try to be very careful; one of the
tabs snapped off once when the body got a jolt.
