It happened in two cities, one which was going to Level 5 and one which was going to Level 4, so level doesn't seem to matter. It was only about a week ago that I leveled both, but I have since then put in more Orbs into the new wheels, so not sure it's definitive anymore. Next time I level one I'll keep an eye on it and if it happens again I can report it right away.

Yes please do that.
 
A member of my FS, Fresh Air with Coffee, FAwC, writes a weekly message titled The Daily Fawcer. Here is the 1st part of it. The second paragraph explains why the orbs shatter so easily:

I was recently called to London to attend the annual Winyandor Worker's Wabble, the one week of the year when the members of the numerous worker associations of Winyandor get together to tell it like it is. And fear not, faithful readers, I kept my pen and pad ever at the ready to pass along any particularly juicy bits of gossip - er - I mean news, of course.

"Did you know??? The Orbs shatter so easily because the board of the Vestige's Interior purchased the cheapest sand he could for production and then pocketed the difference? Took his entire family to Arendyll for a week! Then he invented the Iron Horn as part of a plea bargain to remain out of jail! By the way, there is an Iron Horn up for grabs in the Royal Prize line of our current event [The Cosmic Phoenix Rite]."

So last week I put out a Dwarven Ironhorn to get extra orbs from each level of the Spire.
Great, I now need 10 runes to complete the circle. I got 6 from last week's Spire and 6 from this week. It really would be nice if the number of breaking orbs could be limited. With only 3 runes to go before the circle is filled I have a 70% chance of them breaking. So with 12 orbs I really should be able to have 1 NOT break. But of course they all did.

And before someone starts the stupid comment: YES I KNOW that with 10 broken ones I can fill one slot. Duh! But 12 orbs netting in only 1 rune filled because of 10 breaks just sucks.
But 12 out of 12 breaking is absolutely insane.

And the further one ups the Vestige, the more runes one needs to fill the circle. 9 for levels 1-5, then 10 for levels 6-10, so I expect 11 for levels 11-15.
But when I do get there (if ever at this rate) and you get to be at 9 out of 11 positions filled each orb only has a 2/11 or 18% chance of it fitting. And for the last one a chance of 1/11 or 9% chance. My expectation based on math for that is one will need an average of perhaps 50 orbs to fill that ring. Say one is pretty lucky and can do it with 39, with normally 3 orbs per week to be gained that means 13 weeks, or 3 months, to gain 1 level at that point. And that is if one is already very lucky. Which I in this game am not, not with any of the chance based crap, so it is just one more thing that is an extreme annoyance which takes away from the fun.

I'd initiate a ticket on this issue as the initial Vestige overview announcement clearly states that shattered Ords will be capped at 10 per level. It also states that Shattered Orbs can be collected but doesn't say from where. No one in either of my FS have seen any to collect thus far.
  • The amount of Shattered Orbs remains capped at 10 throughout all of the Upgrade levels
  • Players can also collect Shattered Orbs, used to forge Runes similarly to traditional Ancient Wonders.

They are not talking about the number of shattered Orbs increasing, but the number of Orb slots increasing as the Vestige levels up.
