Yes, I believe it's a replica of the Elmarit 9-E, version 1, with the same compatibility restrictions.
Just out of curiosity, what's the reason behind the incompatibility? I assume it's the design/restriction of the M5 body, somehow?
Rear element intrusion into the body can damage the light meter in the M5.
Exactly, the rear element will be blocking the light meter arms of the M6/CL. Thus, the lens will be incompatible with M5/CL.
Other M body wise, I have used the prototype on M2/M4/MP and M9/M240/M10/M11 without any issues with sensor/shutter compatibility.
