Maybe they printed more copies of The River than they knew what to do with and so decided to sneak some into some of the expansion boxes to get rid of them?
In the German Carcassonne 2 base game they call the followers "Meeple", too. I think this is in all of the new game rules.
The German rules for Carc2 are pretty awful in general. Some might argue, they made them so, that they match better to the artwork. They don't sound, as they would have been made by a fan, but rather a Teletubbie.I would have liked the idea, if they would have included at least one special "River tile" with each expansion corresponding to the expansion. But they did not put much thoughts in gameplay improvements in hand with the graphical change. (Most obvious, and quite often mentioned would have been a bigger scoring track with the base game.) And of course, it would have been tricky, because they produce plates with 6 tiles each, and what to print on the other 5 might have be a problem.

Each expansion has only 1 or 2 river tiles, unique to that expansion and thus we'd not end up with so many river ends nor a large river to play at the beginning.
Dang that is a good idea. As for getting another copy of the River, I guess even bigger games? haha. I need a bigger table..
As kettlefish has written here, I changed the tiles with the old graphics.
