Kinda' reminds me of the "Jumpspace Sickness <sic>" thread that GDW had introduced in their TNS dispatches after they had shifted attention to the SolRim after the conclusion of the 5FW.
It all went away when they brought in the 'Rebellion' but SJG revived & pursued the issue later when they began their 'No Rebellion' timeline.
Don't recall if the issue was ever resolved though.

Testing.  Test.  This is only a test.  If this had been a real reply,
your filter would have binned it.

... or so it appears, because someone has been squashing any serious
rumours of it.  Any stories of the event by the PCs are spun as either
just tall tales, or as the hook for a scam.  Irregularities in the
ship's maintenance paperwork come to light (real or fabricated), and
the ship needs to go in for an extended overhaul under rather odd
conditions.

Maybe this isn't the first time such an event has happened.
