I had a similar issue with a new 28mm Elmarit 2.8 Asph (the one in my avatar).
The entire lens barrel was loose, and apparently getting looser. The fixed ring, focus ring and aperture ring, however, were all solid relative to the lens mount.
It was repaired under warranty at the Leica repair centre in Canada. The episode made me very disappointed with my first Leica purchase. I got my M8 + 2 lenses just in February. The sheen went off the brand for me but now that I have it back I am starting to feel better.
