And if anyone knows how to access that header under Linux, so I can flip my bits, I'd appreciate the knowledge. I wouldn't have purchased an Olympus at all, but they're the only camera maker out there with a waterproof/crushproof/shockproof camera suitable for whitewater kayaking.

You need to find a card reader that can be convinced to give you low level access to the flash itself. The actual secret sauce is very similar to how Olympus marked their SmartMedia cards. The actual utility you want and instructions are here but you need Windows frown Go poke at the Alauda driver for Linux.
