How do you cope with an imaginary problem?

A manager is tasked to solve problems but also to figure out if someone is imagining one. The challenge is that assumptions and perceived facts on the surface may show the existence of a problem but further probing of data and truth may show evidence to the contrary. Chasing an imaginary problem is simply a waste of time and resources. So, once you determine it is an imaginary problem, do you treat the individual who perpetrated the issue any different than others?
