It seems a little close for a coincidence, don't you think, @Vicsun? Consider: what's the likelihood that one RPG development team, Troika, who has even had some of its members work (temporarily) with Black Isle, wouldn't know what they were saying? Think of how many other things they could have called it, like "Dark Isle" or even "Black Island?" It seems (to me) a pretty clear joke.

It's not really an Easter Egg, however. An Easter Egg is usually more elaborate. For example, in the Ultima VII spinoff, Martian Dreams (1991), there's a square indentation which is easy to miss in the desert-like terrain. But if find it and dig into it, you'd discover a pair of ruby slippers. Put 'em on the hero, click, and scenes of Kansas would appear.
