And she should know, and it needles at her, but just like the year after Dalamud fell, everything gets hazy. She knows that there was a miqo'te at the battle, and it could have been Rhio, but... was that it? No, that couldn't have been.
Sure, there's still a disconnect. Rhio could show up at Ellaire's door and Ellaire wouldn't fully recognize her daughter. But it at least allows the people to be remembered without violating lore.
Actually I think you've got it backwards, from what I saw from the Gridania questline. Everyone remembers the deeds and the fact that they fought in the battle, but not the names or the faces. Rhio's mother would remember that her daughter went to fight the Garleans and disappeared after Bahamut's attack, and she'd remember her interactions with her, but her name and face would probably elude her. Sort of like in the ending of FFVIII where everyone's faces are blurred out and indiscernible. They're still there in your memories, but you can't quite make them out.
At least, that's the impression I got.
