I saw same on my Strange fronts and Varishock rears. One of the things I really like about swapping all 4 to the RideTech coilovers - the collar does not have that freak-you-out-might-fall-out notch. Plus with the built-in, tapered rubber "bumper" they just seem to find home everytime as well. (Can't tell you the number of times I've been working on the car and the previous setup would "click" back into place a minute after lowering the car - scarred the bejesus out of me lol!)
As Todd says - should not be an issue under most circumstances but the safety wire is a great idea for sure. Plus, it is my understanding that coilover spring adjustment is designed to be for pre-load, NOT ride-height adjustment but you will rarely see that behavior around here lol!
