This might've happened earlier, but only noticed it today. Have anybody seen that? Search doesn't find any threads on this subject.
The car has the -D battery pack. I'm charging at home at 240V 30A with the normal limit set to 75% SOC. Today when I plugged it in, I stayed in the garage for a while, left the car door open and listened to Slacker. When I went back to close the car I noticed the "Charging Problem" "Check Power Source and Charge Cable" message on the dashboard. So I did: I unplugged the charger from the car, made sure the charger's lights are still on, checked the temperature of the charger and both plugs (wall and car) -- everything was normal. Plugged the charger back in, the charging resumed:
then, within a minute or so, there was a faint click down (felt like second row area, but not sure) and the screen started to switch between
and
Checked the status of the car via the API. Here's what the server told me:
Is it a known issue? A reason to worry? Should I unplug just in case?

So I spent ~15 minutes researching the problem, then hit the server again. Apparently, the car successfully finished its charge:"charging_state" : "Charging",

Is it a known issue? A reason to worry? Should I unplug just in case?
