Clockwork Paladin window appears inappropriately

[srmalloy]

I was leveling a new alt, running missions in Kings Row, and I noticed that I had the popup window for taking down the Clockwork Paladin. This was unexpected, because when it popped up, I was flying above the road that heads due North from Blue Shield, and was due West of the KR tram station -- well South of the area where the Clockwork Paladin spawns up in High Park. Flying up to High Park, I roamed around, finding the Shining Stars standing around looking bored, but no sign of the Paladin. Flying back to Blue Shield, the popup disappeared where I would have expected it to (leaving the spawn area), and did not reappear. Since before getting the popup, I had not been further North in KR than a line through the AE building, I'm not sure why I would have gotten the popup.
