My glide does the same thing, it stays in park but lunges a bit and it's never caused me any problems.
IMO - With the motor and tranny securely tied to the frame like on a front/mid plate set-up I believe its just engine torque flexing the frame.

You'll have to drop the pan with the linkage still hooked up and first see if it's engaging with the shifter in park. It's a spring loaded device and it's possible that the spring is broken, if the pawl is broken it's helt in with a roll pin and can be replaced, but again first you have too see what's going on.
