Depending on the brand I'd say not uncommon. 4 season rated can be as simple a a vent blowing in the tank areas. Most all nicer TT's have enclosed under bellies anyway. Most RV MFG's lie about R values. Looking at how they're constructed is the only way to know if what you're buying will withstand harsh elements.
My tank valves are fully enclosed in insulation. I've never had them in temps below 29* so I have no idea if my 4 season 5th wheel is really 4 season. I can tell you one thing it's not as good in the heat. No one really talks about 4 season and heat. Try staying in 100+ degree heat for days on end.
I recently watched a video of an Airstream Globetrotter. The guy doing the walk through even mentioned that the model he was talking about really wasn't rated for very cold temps even though it was well insulated.
