Not good for sure.
Under warrantee I hope
I'm at the same mileage, just done the oil, rode last night and had a peculiar couple of gear changes , thought it was just me , I hope so.
Then things went as normal, You got me thinkin.

There were a couple of similar reports in the ST forum re ST3 models stuck in a gear and IIRC, it was an adjustment to the positioning of the shift pawl or shift cam or some such thing, ie nothing too serious. Hope it's the same for you.

What did they say it was?

it's covered in more depth here:
Shift Lever Stuck

But to paraphrase, a misaligned part allows the gear lever to move farther than it should causing a return spring to come into contact with the gears which eventually causes it to break...or something to that effect.
