The second season started with no official indication it would go past the Phantom Bullet arc, but it's clearly going to do so.
So for Log Horizon Season 2, it's no surprise that they'd be talking about and show casing things that'll show in in the first cour of the series. For that matter, given the director, assuming there's only one opening again, we'll probably know a lot more about how far the season will go from watching the opening than from any release of character designs.

I doubted that they'd only cover those volumes as well, but S1 covered five volumes. Even with Mamare's input, the anime is covering that same amount of material when there isn't that much to begin with; two volumes were published before the start of S2's production and a third is coming out barely a week before S2 airs.
And, as BucketHat pointed out (to me), even with Dragonhowl Mountains, that'd be only around four extra episodes. If they keep the chapter-per-episode format they've had, that's 10 episodes for the two volumes, maybe another 5 for Vol8, and then 4 for Dragonhowl. All the rest would have to be filler, unless they were adding WWB, HML, or Fortune, and all three of those are at S1 stuff.
