And having experienced exactly this in a real airplane, in instrument conditions, I can tell that what you're seeing is quite realistic. Once the other instruments get tied in to vacuum, you'll find that you can catch a vacuum failure quickly if you're doing a full instrument scan (including comparing the vacuum instruments to the electric gyro turn coordinator), but you'll fail to catch it until quite late if you're tending to fixate on one or two instruments.
