Dunno if it's common, but if that's *all* that goes out it means you're losing the internal ten-volt panel supply for those two gauges. Bad connection on the panel voltage regulator or possibly bad regulator. Regulator costs way out of proportion to what it ought to, but it's still not all that expensive.
