Yeah, that's all I remember too. Just on two FR books (Hall of Heroes and Cities of Mystery), which had 2e logos (but Hall of Heroes was had entirely 1e rules). None at all otherwise during 2e or 3e.
Are you using the "This is not a pipe" argument or do you honestly think that people who use tiles are unable to determine what represents a tree?The statement was "terrain is terrain". But the tiles are not terrain, but more than a game board. Just one that happens to be modular.
Take one of those people that made Drow Outpost, or some of those other maps in 3D and there you have some terrain.
2D isn't terrain to a player. The green blob may suppose to be a bush or tree, but you have to ask. Terrain would be something that tells you right away even if it is a Lego tree. It needs depth beyond the tiles flat images to be terrain.
The tiles are good visual aids, but not quite terrain. Those fold-up models WotC has archived somewhere are good examples of terrain.
Now, if you have a pull-out tap like a pop-up book on the tiles to pop up the trees or something I will call them more akin to terrain.
Otherwise, they are just a modular map that indicate what terrain would exist in 3D just like a surveyors map, but without the contour lines.
Please, no Crinoismns! They hurt myTHIS JUST IN: DIFFERENT PEOPLE ENJOY DIFFERENT GAMES!
THIS ALSO JUST IN: SELLING A PRODUCT TO MORE PEOPLE GETS YOU MORE MONEY!
Really, I can't think of a response other than "Yeah, so?" And the 4.5 conspiracy theory is hilarious.

I remember some Spelljammer products referring to the stuff from Oriental Adventures - notably a "ki helm" whose speed was based on class and level, listing a number of OA classes. There were probably some 2e FR books/boxes referring to 1e books as well.
