gondoreans in the late third age werent even sure if the One Ring had even existed. Very few even linked "Isildur's bane" tot he ring. Its possible that the legends passed down only spoke of "isildur's bane" and not "the ring".
and yea the reason its called his "bane" is because thats what got him killed
Example : Durins Bane- the balrog in moria
