Are you sure the bladder doesn't have a leak and is letting air into the water? There are 2 ways I can think of to tell. First is to watch the pressure gauge while it goes down and the pump cuts in and it goes up and the pump cuts off. When the bladder fails and enough water gets above it in the tank--water being impressionable--the pump will only come on very briefly and then the pressure will be up to cut off then very little water will be used and the pressure will be down to pump cut in. If this is the case drain the tank. If you can feel water still sloshing in it or the weight of water in it but it's not coming out it's because it's leaked in and replaced air above the bladder.
If a water line is broke before the pump I'm with you in that I'd think It'd loose prime. Then again the tank only holds so much air above the bladder. It doesn't sound like your well setup would be low on water and again if it dipped below the intake for the pump I'd think it'd loose prime.
