No, it's never happened to me. That's the direction it's supposed to come out - but it shouldn't come out unless you drive it out with a punch. You could send it back to the factory and stew about for a month, or just put some blue loctite on the fat end and drive it back in. Make sure the hole is free of oil or grease.
That's probably what they would do back in MA anyway. I doubt you would get a new frame out of the deal because then they'd have to deal with serial # issues, etc.
