I guess I'm just lucky!  The dot came off my 50 Summicron-R while I was 
handling my gear on a couch in the office, and I happened to spot it.  I 
scratched off the remaining glue residue in the "dot socket" on the lens, 
and applied a dot of superglue.  Pressed in the red dot and no more 
problems.
