Not truly a bug, but the misleading dialog of this quest caused me some back tracking and I found it rather frustrating.

[11:04 a.m.]Vorsaile Heuloix: En route to Little Solace, you will come upon the Hawthorne Hut. Our officer stationed there can enlighten you as to how to win the sylphs' favor. May your expedition be a worthwhile one.
[11:05 a.m.]Papalymo: A friendly palaver with the sylphs? This should be a pleasant enough diversion.
[11:05 a.m.]Papalymo: The Hawthorne Hut, was it? Why, I believe the ferry departing from Westshore Pier should take us straight there.
[11:05 a.m.]Yda: A friendly palaver, indeed! I hope this will be as straightforward as you say, Papalymo.
Give the quest dialog and the fact that I am quite familiar with Grid. I used the aethernet to hop my way to lancer guild and ran to the pier (before the ! over the npc loaded) and made my way to Hawthorn Hut. Unable to find my next quest npc I looked at my log only to discover I had to head back to Old Grid to talk to NPC there.
