Ahh I encountered the same thing some time ago! I was crafting lots of common items for achievement and one day I just went around breaking everything =p And quite a few times I got nothing back.
I informed a dev about it, no idea if he looked at it or not, he just said that items aren't supposed to give nothing ^^ But, eh, I figured, it applied only to commons anyway.
Horrible chance averaging to less than 1 frag? =p Bug? Maaaaybe just not displaying something? (venu, can you confirm that you got no frags? Though I think when people break a lot, they don't actually check if they got those frags after every item..)
Epics are expensive, it shouldn't happen.
Well, dev attention needed
