Leica supplies a lens hood with built-in wheel for turning a series 8 Leica polarizer on the 24mm R lens. I rarely use this lens w/o a polarizer. I have never ever had any problems using a polarizer on my WA lenses. Under some circumstances, you can indeed get a slight sky gradation. But it is not offensive. It seems to be more pronounced with linear polarizers on my 24mm M lens, than with circular polarizers on my 24mm R lens. Anyway, in my estimation, it's not something to worry about.
