Default Broken Oil Pickup Tubes...concern?

This seems like another situation where a handful of people on NASIOC have had this happen to them, so it turns into an epidemic... I was just wondering if anybody here has heard of these types of failures or seen any of them first hand or if it should be a concern at all.

Cliffnotes on the cause and issue are...apparently the brazing process for the oil pickup tube isn't a very good one, and in conjunction with thin metal and oil pump low frequency pulses () the tubes snap.
