Actually, megabeasts getting killed off has been true for years, with the brief exception of the temporarily nigh-invincible Bronze Colossus. 0.28.whatever worldgen never got to 1050 for exactly this reason.

Which isn't to say that this isn't necessarily a bug, but that it's a very old one. (And one Toady knows about.) A quick check on "megabeasts" shows this isn't a duplicate, though, so I guess it's just old enough that nobody ever bothered to bug report it... or I didn't try the right search term.
