The other problem I see is that if the camera has no information on what

No, what it needs is PowerZoom electrical contacts.
It should work fine on MZ/Z serie and as a consequence, would NOT work
on a K1000 (neither OS nor aperture selection problem).

If the lens contains its own shake sensor there's no need for the
camera to have SR at all. Theoretically, it'd work on a K1000 if you
didn't mind manual focusing.
