I suppose this goes without saying nowadays, but to be clear: the restrictions preclude the use of Pentax film cameras?

With the T2/M42 adapter, there turns out to be enough clearance for the mirror on the Spotmatic. Looking through the viewfinder, there *seems* to be focus at infinity, but I'll have to run through a roll to be sure.

Short answer: it is a T2. Since I want to take the Spotmatic for a spin, I ordered a T2/M42 adapter, $8 on the bay. It may turn out that the mirror doesn't clear the rear element of the lens, in which case I'll need to spring for a T2/Minolta adapter for my SRT 101, which has mirror lock up.

I recently eBayed a Spiratone-branded 12mm that was advertised as a Nikon mount, for which I was willing to pick up a Nikkormat body if need be. As it turned out, it's a screw mount, without any of the T-mount adaptors mentioned on "The Strange Case..." page. I already have a Bower M42-Minolta adapter, which the lens seems compatible with (ie. it doesn't cross thread as if I were attaching a T2 to an M42). Based on that, picked up an old Spotmatic... and the lens doesn't even begin to connect with the Pentax body's threads. It didn't cost much to get to this point, but I wonder: what next?
