Well there doesn't seem to be a problem when using the FGZ flashes with
the 645 digital cameras. The zoom head is set to the proper coverage
for the lens and format, I expect it will be the same for the K-1. That
will probably be complicated by the K-1 supporting both APS-C and
24-36mm formats, (we have got to come up with a better terminology than
full frame or 35mm format for digital cameras), but the coding isn't all
that difficult to imagine, and wouldn't be that difficult to implement.
I'm pretty sure that the firmware for the 645z and K-3 better than 90%
identical.
The same is probably true for the K-5 series and 645D.
Pentax does that, leveraging the hardware and software for the K series
and 645 series cameras off each other.

Here's a question I haven't seen asked (or answered) yet: How will the
zoom head on flash units like my AF540FGZ respond to the K-1 and its
wider field of view (for the same focal length) than APS-C cameras?
I would hope either the camera or the flash makes the necessary
adjustments without the end user needing to do anything like update
firmware or buy a new flash unit.
