OK, it's working, just adding the "Exif.Panasonic.0x0051" makes 
getLenseDescription work for the Lumix G1, for new images at least. Now I just 
need to find a way to rescan the metadata for all existing images.

It's not working yet for RAW files, but I guess that's a problem to fix in dcraw 
somewhere. If you wonder why this is important - lensfun needs to know the 
lens, and it's much more fun if you don't have to select it by hand for each 
image...
