Ouch indeed! Sorry to hear it. I've never mis-hit the green button, but I've been screwed by e-dial-creep on multiple occasions. While in the heat of shooting, I nudge one or other of the e-dials so either the aperture or shutter drifts away. The shutter usually doesn't cause hassles: I set it to 1/160th, but 1/125th is safe. But the aperture changing is a killer.
I've also knocked the mode from M to Av, TAv or other -- always really bad! I'm looking forward to getting a K-5 model some day just to eliminate that possibility. For studio shooting, I wish there was a way to lock out all the settings buttons and dials after configuring them.
