What happened?

<locationtypes>
  <Test
    identifier="Test"
    nameidentifiers="Test"
    commonnessperzone="1:10, 2:10, 3:10, 4:10, 5:10"
    mincountperzone="1:5,2:5,3:5"
    BiomeGate="Allow">
    <Symbol texture="Content/Map/MapAtlas.png" sourcerect="384,640,128,128" color="128,206,175,255" />
  </Test>
</locationtypes>

<infotexts language="English" nowhitespace="false" translatedname="English">
  <locationname.Test>Test Location</locationname.Test>
  <locationname.Test.0>test 0</locationname.Test.0>
  <locationname.Test.1>test 1</locationname.Test.1>
  <locationname.Test.2>test 2</locationname.Test.2>
</infotexts>

Locations could have names that do not match their name identifiers immediately after map generation:

Reproduction steps

1. Use the xml above
2. Generate a map with seed 1
3. It will reproduce cases for both test locations using generic names and other locations using test names in the first biome
