After giving up near the top of a climb strewn with rocks the size of coffee cups and whilst dismounting a rock popped up and hit my clutch lever - which snapped off!
is this bad luck or is this a common issue?

Happened to mine too.
I think it's common-ish.
Relatively cheap and easy to fit a new lever though.

Yeah, had the same. Just leave it 'on' and use a bit more force to get the wheel in and out. The mech is still fine.

Unlucky I'd say, never had this happen to a Shimano clutch lever
