Actually, I think there is a way around this. It might have been a glitch, but I was doing the bard's guild quest today and fast traveled to the dungeon (folgunther or rhannvig's fast or something?) South-west of there, and on my way I took a detour to check out the dragon symbol on my map (where you get one of the Disarm shouts). Before I got to the bottom of that hill, a normal dragon attacked me, and after I killed it, I strangely got the quest complete message and my log updated and said to return to Esbern. Note: the frost dragon guarding the shout was still there.
I was being an idiot though and after I got the shout I used become ethereal to jump off the mountain and it faded too soon, so I died and was back at Solitude before I fast traveled. Didn't get to go back to him.
I know that sounds sketchy but I'm not trolling. Level 40 now, main quest finished around 16. 360.
