I was told by a Canon rep. that the fix would be quite expensive on my 28-135mm IS (over $100, since the lens has to be disassembled.) I've learned to live with it and use a small piece of gaffer's tape as a 'fix.' I cut a pice about 2.5" long x 1" wide and folded over one end (about 1") over itelf on one end to make a grasping tag. I just stick the tape over the barrel and the zoom grip to keep it from creeping as I walk around. When I'm ready to shoot, I pull off the tab and stick it onto the top of the oncamera flash. Been using this for a year with no problems. Others use rubber bands.
