'Black' props need more tightening? Normal?

I have a refurbished Phantom 3 standard, but I've noticed that the black props (one in particular) need much more turning to get them tight.

I've tried with different props and it's still the same. There's also a whining sound when flying which may or may not be related.

I've made a video to show what I mean. My main concern is if something is wrong and a prop comes off mid-flight then it's my word against DJIs as to what happened.

Should I return the Phantom for a replacement?

A whining sound is normal in most circumstances. If you noticed the additional tightening with other black props, then it could be a thread issue on the motor side. Do you notice any wear on the motor threads? Did you get a refurb unit from the DJI Store or after a repair service?
