I've seen a couple so far in my first campaign.
One of mine picked up a negative trait (-1% movement) after a long period of inactivity.
Another got a bad trait (eye for the ladies or something) after staying in a province with the sake den chain building.
Personally, I'm happy they are less common. Having to randomly move a garrison general or boycott inn towns to avoid bad traits is not fun imo.
