This is a flaw of Panasonic non-HDD units, and has been for some time (it dates back to at least the E50 and E55 line).

Luckily I've never seen it on mine, but then again, I never record with mine unless I'm testing or it's an emergency. I do however see a lot of weird stuff, like the 4a.m. "clicking" moises it makes daily. The clock is also super touchy, I feel as if I were to sneeze too hard in the same room, it would start blinking 12:00 again.
