It seems that the courier who delivers the note from Akorithi believes that she herself is Akorithi, and will offer the quest at the same time as handing you the letter that tells you to go to Castle Sentinel to get the quest.
In this instance I've received the quest by fast travelling to Direnni Tower just to demonstrate it starting somewhere it shouldn't, but the quest is always offered no matter where the messenger appears.
I've attached a save just in case - the save was made on 10.18 which is where I first noticed the issue, but it also happens after updating to 10.19 though I'm not sure if that's just because it's a save from .18. No mods used here.
Wayrest Painting starts without talking to Akorithi
