Well, bear in mind that thermodynamics is a statistical theory, it's about the aggregate behaviour of systems. Quantum fluctuations like that just sort of average out.
Conservation of Energy isn't even a firm rule in our universe, since time translation isn't an exact symmetry (the universe was different in the past). But on local scales and reasonably short times it might as well be true. :)
