I haven't heard anything, I'm wondering if Karen has tried it.

Well, if you didn't turn the data imprinting off, that would be a
problem. If you did turn it off, the IR sensor *might* fog the film.
However, other MZ bodies have a sensor as well, and don't. I've tested
this with the ZX-5n.
I would assume with the MZ-S' new capabilities that the sensor is
different, so it might not work. If it does fog, it might not be
catastrophic fog. Canon users have learned to live with a small amount
of fogging along the edges, essentially ending up with something like a
36x22mm neg.
I have a Program Plus dedicated to IR, so, personally, I'm not going to
worry about it much. The meter in that thing seems to do remarkably well
with IR, I don't even think much about it anymore. I hardly even bracket
these days.
BTW, I developed my first batch of film in PMK tonight and didn't die.
The negs are nice and green....can't wait to print a few.
