I have also experienced this same issue with my D300 and the 200-400 f.4VR lens. Loose fitting and camera shutdown. Not knowing what was causing it I tried three different fully charged batteries and the results were the same. Very frustrating. In speaking with a couple of Nikon customer reps they sure don't seem to want to discuss the issue...and act like they haven't heard of the problem. To me, this makes the situation worse, in that I now am losing trust in Nikon. When I talked with the Nikon dealer I purchased my equipment from the salesman told me he had the same issue happen right in the middle of a shoot...just like I. He has found from Nikon that there is an issue. However, there apparently is no "real" fix for it as of yet. Nikon wants me to send it in...but, whats the sense in that if it comes back and I have the same situation arise again. I understand that the exact same thing is happening with the 70-200 2.8VR lens...which I also purchased. GREAT, huh? Spend over $10,000.00 on new equipment that I can't count on to do it's job.
