Started a new game on 21.11.0. I didn't play 21.10.0h at all, so I don't know which version this started happening in, but I've only just started and I'm meeting random people on the street that I haven't met in the game yet. I just ran into Camilla and I haven't even met Kylie, yet. I've also ran into Lexi, but haven't done anything towards her story at all, either. Haven't gone to the alley. They talk as if we know each other and I get dialog options in some of them that can give me LP/KP even though they don't show in my story tracker.
Edit: And now I just ran into Scottie and I responded as Bree, even though I'm playing as Mike. Guessing it's not going to get better so I should quit now and wait for another update and start over again.
