I dont think most of the people selling leaftails know wha they are, to be honest. "Mossy" is the worst case of this, I have seen henkeli and sikorae marked as "mossy", I have seen fimbriatus marked as henkeli, and obviously wholesalers are having a hard time with the Phantasticus/Ebanaui deal.
One of my favorites is when the rare long-tailed ebanaui come in, and they sort of look like both, simple enough if you know about Uros, but they cant ever decide what to call them.
I saw what I believe to have been malahelo at a show once, marked as a "leaftail gecko from Madagascar". Man, thats helpful. I should have bought it, but I didnt know what it was at the time either. Then going home and researching, kicking myself for not picking it up.....
I just think people rely more on us knowing what they have...
