The actual cause of this problem could be serious or not....
It's bad synchro rings that cause popping out of gears, usually. They can be caused either by regular ol' wear or something worse. Bob probably just has a worn synchro. When my '85 900T started popping out of 2nd, it was due to a massively worn pinion bearing that starting prematurely wearing other parts... Two months after the popping out of gear started, I lost 4th gear altogether, then 5th. Wasn't pretty.
Best advice is to start saving for a rebuild. In the event it never worsens, hey, no harm done. In the event that it does, you'll be prepared.
