On a new embark I started, the dwarves I got on the first hard-coded migration wave apear to have thoughts about legendary dining rooms, owned bedrooms and traps. I don't have any of these. What could've caused this?

Have you had any previous forts you abandoned? They could be from there.

My first thought on that is that you recently abandoned another fortress on the same world and the new arrivals came from your old fortress.

I thought about that. I don't think I ever stayed in that world to have a legendary carpenter, though. So I'm checking if there are other possible causes.

I've never seen those thoughts on fresh migrants. As far as I know, civ dwarves comes to fortress mostly blank and content. If they're happier or better, then it's pretty likely old fortress inhabitants.

Was one of them a legendary carpenter? It don't take much to generate those kind of thoughts, and I easily get legendary carpenter just building beds and bins with one dwarf.

I screwed up early a few times on that world. I guess I didn't notice him popping up as a migrant in the earlier games.

if you still remember your old fort names you can check it with his previous entity memberships. 'was a former member of...'

This definitely can happen if you get migrants from a previous fort.  I've heard tales of tantrum spirals coming from migrants of old forts that were miserable, though I've never seen it myself.

Migrants showing up right before they go berserk and kill everything is the reason why I now lock down and exterminate the entire populations of failed forts before trying to make a new one.
