No so fast.  According to Oly the E-1's FL-50 flash does Super FP mode. 
  Here's the Oly description:

"FL-50 Flash
Built specifically for the E-1 SLR, the FL-50 Flash offers all the 
features a professional wants to produce professional-caliber results.

Along with the standard bounce and swivel capability, power zoom and a 
full range of TTL Automatic, Automatic and Manual flash modes, the FL-50 
offers the Super FP Mode. This allows for flash sync at speeds up to 
1/4000th second so fill-flash can be used in the brightest of 
situations. This is achieved by the flash's ability to fire before the 
shutter opens and stay illuminated until after the shutter closes. 
Designed specifically for digital photography, the FL-50 flash also has 
more even illumination with less corner fall-off than traditional film 
flashes. The Guide Number is 164 feet/50 meters at ISO 100.

The FL-50 can be powered by multiple power sources, including standard
AA-type Alkaline, NiCad, Ni-MH, Lithium batteries, LB-01 (CR-3V)
batteries or be used in conjunction with the separate HV-1 High Voltage
Power Pack or Power Flash Grip for additional power and speed capabilities."
