A formal bokeh analysis is pointless for slow speed lenses. We're talking about a "27-83mm f/5-8" here. There're a few bokeh shots in the sample image section though. As far as flare is concerned - show us a really reliable method with field relevance.
As far as your correction argument is concerned - frankly, I'd guess that 80% of the users do not care. They want to have everything fixed right out-of-the-box. Panasonic is just doing that which is probably one factor for their recent success.

My correction remark was a response to that other post, and it should be read in that context. If one actually cares about it bit more resolution, one should also care about the lens' distortion characteristic, as correcting the distortion will lose resolution.
The 80% of the users of cameras like the Panasonics and Sony's will indeed not care about it, but also will not care about the bit more resolution in tests.
