The exotic glasses used in apochromatic telephotos can expand and contract (at least this is how it was explained to me) causing infinity focus to vary according to temperature. It is nothing to worry about and usually in fast telephoto lenses you'll notice that there is some focus travel past the infinity mark possible to account for such variations.
