Yes, Matt. I've had the same. I'm big, but usually don't break stuff. Do love my Crank Bros though. I've had the same issues you have, lately.
In my case, I bought bargains, and found out after they broke CB couldn't rebuild them. Apparently there are cheaply built versions and that was why I got such a "bargain".
They had a good trade-up deal so I did that, and noticed the new ones come with "new and improved" springs. Don't know what exactly they had to fix, but I think we know WHY they fixed 'em.
Zero breakage on the new ones so far.

I've broken one on a regular set of egg beaters, some candy's and this morning one snapped on a quattro road pedal. I'm obviously invested a bit I have a bunch of them and I like em but I'm curious if anyone else has had this problem? I've changed cleats do I don't think its a worn cleat causing the problem, I do hammer on them but we race bikes that is the point right?
