I've had this happen once before. Matters between certain characters got heated, the folks on one side of the divide weren't upset OoC at all... but it turned out that the confrontation actually did upset, OoC, those on the other side of the IC dispute, largely because said confrontation turned nasty in a way that "triggered" them, to use the contemporary term. It was a landmine that most of us weren't aware of. It took some time for them to recover, and some OoC discussion to reassure the folks in question that we weren't genuinely upset OoC, that we'd merely been playing the parts of our characters. Even now, I don't think that message sunk in as well as expected, because it's still awkward running into and/or conversing with said folk.
Shit happens.
