I'd say twice is the Magic number to trigger return. Some intermittent shorts clear on the first shot especially those that happen in the first days. The second occurrence indicates that didn't happen and one can expect the problem to recur --- very often damaging and/or substantially shortening the life of critical components. I suggest trying for a replacement unless you are somehow convinced that they found and FIXED the problem. An intermittent can be/is tough to find and the nature of the fault precludes one from a timely verification of the repair when the camera is returned. I'd try for replacement on the basis of manufacturing/design defect etc., etc., etc. or whatever.
