It is common if old gas with a lot of varnish in it, or an old dirty tank falling victim to the cleansing action of modern ethanol blend of gas, gummed up the valve guides, locking up a valve.

Bending is common. I've not heard of one breaking. Makes me wonder if it had bent before and been straightened. Work hardened metal is more brittle.
