I dunno, the main gripe is with the use of the term "Old Kingdom" -
it is fairly widespread through the books, and is defined in the
Magnamund Companion - its (mis)use in 'The Deathlord of Ixia'
sticks out like a bit of a sore thumb.


Is it used frequently in any other book than this one? (I don't have
access/time to download and search at the moment...)

I did a quick search for "Old Kingdom" in Books 1-16. Ignoring stuff from the rules sections of Books 13-16, I found two separate references:

10tdot 298: "During the Age of the Old Kingdoms, when the Elder Magi ruled the land, this temple was a place of learning and experimentation."

13tplor 18, 138, 333, 335: "This domed chamber is decorated with tapestries which depict Cenerese legends, ignoble and infamous deeds that were perpetuated during the Age of the Old Kingdoms, when, for nearly a thousand years, the Cenerese tyrannized Northern Magnamund."

As David says, then, its misuse in TDoI is really very apparent.
