I started up a game in 40d and have twice gotten the dwarven caravan but haven't seen my liason yet.  The game's worldgen parms tweaked to encourage high resource density so I could start 5x5 with all necessary resources and more live megabeasts (my start year was 50) but is otherwise vanilla. 

Is this a bug, expected but unusual behavior (re: I'll get a liason eventually), or did I screw something up by changing my parms?

If you want to try the site yourself use the finder to look for magma pool, underground river, flux, chasm, and other features in 5x5.   You may want to move south a bit to include more woods

What was the notable changes for more megabeasts and higher resource density?

[Hamster Man]

Sometimes the official liaison for a fort dies of old age or some unrelated incident. It's rare but does happen.

Try generating the world again, see if it repeats.

Everything non-vanilla is contained in the worldgen parms - click on the spoiler tag to see them.  But briefly - I set world generation to end between 50 and 150 to preserve megabeasts instead of the default year 1000 or so.  I increased rivers, savagery, and base elevation some and volcanism a lot to encourage a lot of mountain/sedimentary layer closeness.
