Not a misprint in the log. When you have 10, you get a "quest complete" red notice, the icon over Sophia's head turns to a closed book, she even attempts to give you the quest reward, but fails.
The number of items to get is apparently written, separately, in 4 places.
1) The NPC text when the quest is given
2) The quest log
3) The quest data, as shown by Quest Helper
4) The list of items to be removed from inventory when quest is turned in (internal to the program, not shown except as "you have lost items" messages at the proper moment).
In Tespia I noticed quite a few cases where the first three didn't match. (There were also a few in pre-BB GMS, as Justin notes below). However, the last two always matched, in my experience, to the point where I didn't even know the fourth exists, until now.
Must make changing quest requirements an extremely tedious and error-prone job, when you have to manually change 4 places.
