I know I have a few times and never had an issue, but it has not happened often.
The K5 allows you to forcibly create a new folder.
Can you see if that reproduces the problem?
My guess is that it is the number of photos that causes the second folder to be created, not actually the act of creating the second folder.
i.e. your card(s) have some error when more full.
With my K10D, a second folder was never created until the first folder reached a certain size (big). Interestingly, with my K5 a seperate folder seems to be created for each day. This is regardless of the size of the card being used.
I'm thinking that I should reset all features in the K5 (and determine/upgrade the firmware)?...
