Not the best photo for looking at the screw close up. There are a few more images here and with different adapter types.

Update to anyone who's interested: the adapter has a small piece of the inside thread chipped off which apparently is enough to make attaching lenses to it almost impossible. I just bought a 2€ chinese non-infinity focusable adapter to test it out and it screws on perfectly. Another genuine K-M42 adapter gone to the history books I guess...

Good and bad news I suppose. You may be able to repair the adapter with a 1mm thread file. A metal working or automotive repair shop might do it for you.
