Subject: [Leica] GF-1 getting trashed on Wired.com - now question

Speaking of the GF-1, I just got my M-MFT adapter from Stephen Gandy. 
Physically it seems fine in every respect, but the camera initially refused 
to take a picture with an M lens mounted, displaying a PLEASE MAKE SURE THE 
LENS IS MOUNTED CORRECTLY message. But then it occurred to me to change the 
menu to allow shooting without a lens, and now all is well. Is that normal?
