It's probably a hiccup. The only possible logical explanation would be
the slight reframing could change exposure if you were using the spot
meter. I've had that happen to me. But I've also encountered situations
where my *istD just seemed to get confused and go slightly bonkers.
Might you have been using the spot meter?

Subject: istDS Exposure Problems
I seem to recall some people saying that, when using manual exposure,
and/or manual focus lenses, the DS (and maybe the D as well) has had
some
exposure problems. Today the DS was sporting a K28/3.5 - as manual
as you
can get - and I was making a few exposures of some wooden bears on a
friend's deck. The camera was set at the same aperture, shutter
speed, and
ISO for both of these shots, made within a minute of each other. The
pics
were saved directly from an unadjusted PEF file. I think you should
be
able to see the EXIF info with various software and viewers. IAC,
both
were shot @ 200 ISO, 1/200 sec, and @ F8.0

What gives?
Well, the camera _knew_ that you had made one exposure for the
shadows, so it made the next one, which it _knew_ was the same subject
from the pattern on the sensor, for the highlights.
