In original Cataclysm the Traveler’s Tundra Mammoth’s vendor got updated to sell Vanishing Powder.
Currently the vendor doesn’t sell the Vanishing Powder on Cataclysm Classic which is obviously a bug.
Retail version of the vendor:

Vanishing Powder is made by players with inscription, you can purchase them from the auction house.
If you search ‘Vanishing Powder’ on Cata Wowhead, it specifically says it is only sold by inscription vendors and crafted by scribes. Only vendors that sell it are Stanly McCormick (for Alliance) and Moraka (for Horde). It was not sold by reagent vendors until a future expac.

Wowhead is biased. They only have what they datamine from blizz or players report using their wowhead client. Any and all other cataclysm databases show the vanishing powder on Gnimo and Drix.
So it makes sense that wowheads cata database only shows it from those spots, because blizzard and players have only seen it there.
I am trying to track down a list of changes to the stock of those npcs for verification but unable to do so yet. Will post info if I find a verified list.
It was added in MoP to the mammoth.
