I wouldn't describe it as a problem with the ZX-5n—it works exactly the way it was intended. When the camera reaches the end of the film it rewinds the film back into the cartridge. Individual photographers may find it not to their taste, but it doesn't mean there is anything wrong with the camera.
The rewind sound level is on par with the autofocus sound level and, since this is a camera designed for autofocus lenses, I'd guess Pentax figured the sound of the rewind wasn't going to be anymore intrusive than the sound of the lens focussing for all the previous shots.
