I assume it's a bug, but will check the opinion here before submitting a bug report.

Playing a truly dead civ, I was surprised to see a message claiming a hamlet had been conquered and linked economically to my fortress.
Checking exported legends info (at the beginning of the year), I can see the hamlet has been attacked by my goblin civ neighbor, that had not yet attacked me at the time, and wasn't at war at embark, with that attack being repelled.
The civ screen shows the hamlet as being controlled by those same goblins, who are now at war with my site. Thus, I assume the gobbos attacked a human site, conquered it, and it somehow attached itself economically to their soon to be enemy. I believe I've seen a couple of similar head scratchers in the past (with a live civ) where a couple of sites were reported conquered and linked to my fortress, but every civ screen check has shown them as as controlled by the active enemy (who'd already attacked my site before those linkages).

It means your sites are now linked for future black market activity or possibly banditry (neither happen yet). The message doesn't check for what kind of economic link it is, and there are all sorts going on in the background that were added years ago.

It's fully intended for enemy civs to be able to link up like this (think Bree and Isenguard).
