Yeah this can cause Steam to throw a bit of a wobbler at times. Especially after a Steam update. Iirc Steam sometimes loses the location of some files if the game is installed on a different partition from Steam itself. I wouldn't get too worried :)

I would be worried as a user though!
Please file a bug report with Steam to ensure that it gets fixed - if you don't ask you don't get.
