Down bags also get wet around the heads and chest area from your breathing. In the right weather conditions, this can be a lot of moisture.
The thing is, it's not a big deal. It's hard to get the down itself wet (ask anyone who has tried to wash their down bag in a bathtub.) I just lay out the bag whenever I get a chance, like at lunch one day, and it dries out quickly.
