Not uncommon, judging by the number of pattern switches available from CPC and the like. Having them soldered to the board with no other mechanical support doesn't help either.
This is not a new problem though. Vast numbers of Sonys in the 1980s were subject to recalls due to arcing mains switches, as were some ITTs whose switches developed dry joints where they were soldered to the PCB.
