My 70-200 4.0L had a lot of play. My 100-400 has a little all my other lenses are pretty firm.
The door for the compact flash card on both my cameras had a little play, like sliding a wee bit. I put little bits of blue masking tape on the inside to make the fit tighter. Still using the original tape! Awesome stuff.
My MP-E has the same rotational play. I wouldn't worry about it.
On another note, with the amount of air it moves when changing magnifications, I think some it needs some way to expell it, so a tight seal might have made it difficult. Just a guess anyway.
Congrats on the new lens, you will love it. Did you get a MT-24EX.
My 300L and my 1.4 T/C have a small amount of rotational play when seated. It doesn't effect IQ. None of my other lense have it. I wouldn't worry about it, but it can be a bit irritating.
