Known problem (may even be a TSB) that Honda fixed under warranty for many of us. It did require replacement of one gearset and shaft so it is not an easy fix. I've not heard there are any follow-on problems or related damage, it is just irritating and could be a problem in a driving situation when you need power and it is not available.

What fluid are you using in your transmission? Switching from Honda to Pentosynth fixed my 5th gear popout problem.

It has nothing to do with fluid. I think this is what you are looking for;
