Well, the focal length is the focal length is the focal length. This is a physical spec. I agree that this is meaningless from a user perspective though.
I still keep on wondering why they did it. Olympus manufactured some of the finest lenses around in the FT scope and now they are free floating some abberations which they should be able to master based on their design capabilities. We are not talking about a budget lens here.

The physical spec of this lens must be wider than 12mm. Ergo, the focal length (12mm) is not the focal length (<<12mm).
