OK - I use flash only occasionally and wireless flash almost never but I've tried Doug's suggestions below with the K200D and AF360FGZ and I'm seeing exactly the same results as Bruce. The flash always fires on the leading curtain (or perhaps it just fires the pre-flash on the leading curtain and main flash doesn't fire at all - I'm just guessing here).
I wondered if my flash was faulty but attached to the camera in P-TTL mode (not in wireless mode), it fires on the trailing curtain as it should. Obviously this is of no help to Bruce......
