Apple is working vigorously to rectify the situation. A freshly redesigned adapter is in the works and should be coming soon. The Apple Store indicates that MagSafe adapters are 2 to 3 weeks out from shipping.

Finally! I’ve had to have two replaced already because of this (I have AppleCare), and both times the “geniuses” said it was my fault. The magsafe is so much better than the old connector but this flaw is so frustrating.
When this happened to me, the guy I spoke to (via phone) suggested I don’t charge my laptop when I’m not there. So when, pray tell, do I charge it? ;-)
