I wouldn't say it's common, but it certainly happens, enough to consider it failure prone, to a degree. They don't just blow up or anything, typically they'll tear at first, creating a smallish boost leak, and the tear can then continue to expand until you have a fairly serious boost leak. They don't catastrophically fail, but they can tear and be the source of a boost leak.
