Once the power drops this can cause a plethora (oh who's swallowed a dictionary) of weird electrical faults.
If it were my car I wouldn't worry too much and see how it goes as I suspect the system just got a little worried about how quickly the battery was draining with Ignition and h/lights being on for I think you said half an hour particually if you have HID's.
