I may not have the right understanding of en passant in Omega Chess, but I think a Black pawn on e3 should not be able to capture en passant (that is move to f2) after White takes a double step from f2 to f4. En passant for a double step does not work like that in chess after a double step there, and I looked at the Pawn Rules diagrams for Omega Chess' rules page, and nothing exactly like that type of attempted en passant capture is shown there either.

In my 12x12 Brawl Chess, I am allowed to make the analogue of taking a pawn moving by triple step to e5 with a Black pawn on d4 (it is not shown as legal, but it is allowed by the preset). But when I try capturing a pawn making a double step to f4 with a Black pawn on e3, the preset not only does not show the option, but also does not allow it. However, my current enforced version of Brawl Chess may be lacking some sort of code that the current enforced Omega Chess preset has.
