Tricross Front Wheel Pulls Out When Braking

I have a Specialized Tricross with disc brakes, new last summer, with 2700 road miles on it. It's my commuter.

I'm riding along today, looking down at the wheel and notice it's to the left maybe 5 mm on top. So I stop, open the quick release, and "thunk" the wheel seats all the way into the dropouts. That looks better.

Watching, I notice the top of the wheel pulls to the left with moderate braking pressure. No idea how long this has been going on.

The quick release is as tight as I can get it. Brake is stock BB5 with 160 mm disc.

Is there some issue with this bike, or some other attachment method I should install to make it more secure?
