Will probably be "fixed". but as of now, even the adds that don't visually have captured dragons give credit for the quest.
It's still the case after release. You only have to kill the ads; they don't have to visually have a dragon.

Description

The Wild Preserve is one of the few areas where proto-dragons thrive. But the Primalists are disrupting their nesting grounds by sending sorties to capture and experiment on proto-whelps and proto-drakes. Show them no mercy. Locate these Primalist poachers, wipe them out, and free their captives. The proto-dragon species depends on it.
