I don't think you'll do any damage to the body as long as the stop screw is 
still in the lens mount (it will stop rotating in the normal position when 
mounting the lens).  Your main risk is dismounting the lens and dropping it 
when focussing.

This is a fairly common problem with the 135/3.5, the spring which applies 
pressure to the lock tends to pull out of the plastic it is screwed into.  The 
whole problem is fairly obvious if you remove the screws holding the mount to 
the body of the lens.

Just purchased a clean second-hand 135/3.5 lens and was wondering if any of 
you experienced the same problem.....Mounted the lens on the camera and 
discovered the lens release button is not working and the lens doesn't lock 
into place. Under normal usage is the any real chance of the lens damaging 
the camera body or loosening itself enough to fall out?
Thanks,
Jon
