Comparing the charts on the Ka and Kfa pages on Boz's site to the picture of the MZ60 it appears that the MZ60 is missing the m1 and m2 contacts from the Ka specification. That implies that the values of m1 and m2 will always be assumed by the MZ60. It could be that no A lens will work with the camera or only some will, (which could explain the fact that some people seem to think that A series lenses will work with the MZ60 and Jim's lenses won't. Since I have few A lenses and no MZ60 I have no way of testing this theory. It is also possible that the "New" A series lenses, (the Zooms that have FA style cosmetics), differ from the older A lenses in more than looks.
