I'm not saying that it's always the case that they are bad, but because of their design (different from the other pods) they seem to be prone to fail.

I've also heard of center vent issues on many W126 cars, and I am speculating that the recirc pods are a likely cause of this.

Again, I would test the recirc button to see if this is the case. If you lose your center vents as soon as you press recirc, then I think you have proved it enough to go digging in.
