Funestos augurios
Is this a common term for fear mongerers?, prophets of doom?, harbinger of doom?
Is this a term that's generally understood?

It's a generally understood term, for what I know. It means "ominous prophecy", and yes, it's usually that kind of people who tend to announce them.
Some synonyms for "augurio": Presagio, anuncio, profecía. Some synonyms for "funesto": desastroso, fatídico, infortunado.

Agree with angelica.
"funestos augurios" is something like "unlucky omens" "muy malos presagios" or " profecías terribles" An usual sentence in old literature, when an old wizard/duid/roman augur spoked about unlucky omens "funestos augurios". saludos  PD: By the way, I recoment the funny book "ggod omens" by Terry Prattchet and Neil Gaiman. The complete title is : "Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (1990)"
