While this issue probably won't cause any problems for you, if you are curious as to what is causing this, it should be pretty simple to diagnose at this point. Removing the small pin face screw on top of the shutter speed knob is all the disassembly needed. The photos of the shutter speed control knob below show the two different types of stops used on the Nikon FM2 models. If you notice in the FM2 photo, the brass stop (at around 6 o'clock)is at a different position than the one in the FM2n photo. Probably no problem with this stop as it is pretty sturdy, but most likely the rotater tab, made of plastic, may be worn on the part that makes contact with the brass stop.
