Slipping beyond F, LST and TM and into Rain Wild Chronicle spoilers now so adding *ALL HOBB BOOKS* to the spoiler tag...
It's interesting, particularly given that we know that serpents seem to lose their serpent memories and then have them taken over by dragon memories after they emerge (the newly-hatched dragons took varying lengths of time before some recalled aspects of their serpent lives and, even then, many of those memories were not always clear or more than a whisper of thought eg such as recognising that Mercor-as-Dragon was once Maulkin-as-Serpent or that the newest parts of Tarman were once Sessurea).
As far as broken dragon memories, yes, it is caused by not only the too-long time spent awaiting She Who Remembers and the too-short cocooning time, but also the fact that they had only Tintaglia's spit/saliva (only one One Who Remembers, and this one who herself had cocooned far too long in the Crowned Rooster Chamber in Trehaug and had gaps in her own memories, as opposed to the many One Who Remembers they would have had helping in previous generations) to furnish their needs when it came to making their cases out of the memory sand.
