Weren't those mostly baseless rumors whispered in Viserys's ear by Illyrio? I could be forgetting, but I don't really remember any first hand experience of people in Westeros anxiously waiting for the return of the Targs.

I remember Robert bitching about it as well that some people continue to call him Usurper. I think Illyrio exaggerated how many people said that, but I'd say there were certainly some. Wouldn't shock me if the Martells called him that behind closed doors.
