How the Minolta works or how effective it is I have no idea, but you can be very sure that the Pentax system as used in the A10 if adopted for DSLR use needs FL, the copy on DPReview even states it (though not very elegantly):
The Minolta system, which appears similar to this new Pentax system, does not need to know lens focal length. I tested the Maxxum 7D with a number of lenses mounted via adapters and it worked just fine, even with a 1000mm mirror lens. I found no difference in effectiveness between adapted lenses and Minolta lenses.
Maybe I am missing something, but I would assume that a 1mm displacement of the camera body would produce a 1mm shift in position of the image on the sensor, regardless of lens focal length.
