The usual failure mode is bending, not usually breaking or chipping, but it can and does happen.

I have seen chipped Glock extractors, but never a bent one (that I was aware of anyway).
Is this just in reference to 1911 internal extractors?

Yes. They loose their shape ( a slight bend)in a 1911 and cause a failure hold the empty case until the ejector can knock it clear of the gun.
