Confirmed with new 40.18 world.

Some of the troubles/rumors, those that mention sites in a different region than the speaker is in, have the region correct and some don't.

The region in this rumor is correct:
Lic Dofzicab, lady: Our people have been pestered by skulking villains. They have a camp called Kumbis somewhere in The Smooth Blizzard.
You: Tell me about this area.
Lic Dofzicab, lady: Kumbis is in The Hills of Fading.

The region in this rumor is not:
Ketas Ash bdof, first yearling: A creature of the night has our people cowering in fear. Ashcrypts is in The Hills of Fading. Seek this place if you hunt Osman Skulltunneled the lumbering ogress. This vile fiend has killed three in her lust for murder!

Ashcrypts is in:
You: Tell me about this area.
Ketas Ash bdof, first yearling: The Hill of Requirements is a day's travel to the west. Kakapo roam freely out there.

Of course they are "rumors" so I could see this part being intentional.
