Well, it also says don't disconnect the lens from the powered-off camera 
while in VR mode, lest the glass of the lens rattle about.

In any case, it doesn't matter why. The thing has like 30 buttons on the 
outside, most of them multi-function, and a menu system so complex that you 
can rearrange it to suit your own preferences. Yet some of the stuff is 
surprisingly manual and mechanical, still. :-)

Yeah, welcome to CA, where every product and building comes with that 
warning, but nobody can tell you where or what the bad stuff actually is.
