I find it strange that, providing this message is correctly generated, that they programmed the correct plural into the game. After all, the correct item name is "The Stone of Jordan." An incorrectly programmed plural would possibly return "9 The Stone of Jordans Sold to Merchants."
So here's a thought: The range of different items you have to sell is reduced, as programming the plurals for each and every item would be too great an arduous task. Is the plural of Arkaine's Valor Arkaine's Valors, or is it like the plural of sheep is sheep (Given that I don't believe Valor pluralizes). Is it Razorswitchs or Razoreswitches? Veil of Steel or Veil of Steels? We are probably looking at "Sell X amount of Stones of Jordan to trigger quest" or similar with a very small range of items, and probably the items made famous by duping and cheating, after all - Name one person who ever got rich duping Ichorstrings.
1.10 has been a farce right from the beginning. It will go down in history as the first ever patch to feature at E3, and with the constant delies, promised and missed deadlines, innacurate information, misproved speculation, and the recent leak I'm starting to think that all this talk of synergistic skills and secret quest is nothing more than gross overcompensation on Blizzard's part. I would rather play the patch with the bug fixes it is supposed to contain and with the already pretty natty idea of dedicated ladder play than watch people falling over themselves in excitement of a new quest that has seemingly just been tacked on as an afterthought.

When in mortal danger,
When beset by doubt,
Run in little circles,
Wave your arms and shout.
