I just received the new E-M1 book by David Busch. Evidently you can assign the
focus screen to a dedicated button, the right and down arrows can be changed,
and in the custom menu a home focus area can be set. Problem is, I haven't
gotten that far so really can't answer the question.........but it must be
different than the E-M5.

I don't know about the E-M1. It seems to be part of the µ4/3 consortium
spec., "Lets all have a feature that will drive most users crazy!", as all the
Pens and the two Pannys I have all have the same issue.
Accidentally touch the left 'button' function of the rear wheel or touch the
screen at some unspecified moment and POOF!, the focus point moves to a random
place.
Learning to hold the cameras carefully may help. A firmware fix to turn the
focal point move function off seems unfortunately unlikely. Somebody out there
in manufacturer land must love it.
If The E-M1 fixes this, I might find it more appealing, in spite of the huge
grip and paying for PD AF I'll never use. The E-PM2 still has the problem, so
the E-PL5 must, too.
