Why aren't there any officials for me to kill or heralds for me to bribe?

Question

I'm not super far into Assassin's Creed: Revelations. I've only just finished the mission where

Ezio disguises himself as a Janissary so he can kill Tarik the Janissary Captain.

Afterwards I was fleeing a whole mess of Janissaries. Eventually I evaded them and became anonymous, but now my Templar Awareness meter is full and red. No problem - I'll just assassinate some officials and bribe some heralds and I'll be good, right?

Except there aren't any showing up on my map - at all, in any area of the city. I have walked by several heralds, but they aren't talking about me (how dare they!), so I can't bribe them.

Is this a glitch? If not, what do I need to do to get the game to let me get my awareness meter down?

I reloaded the game from the save that happened immediately after I escaped the Janissaries - the problem persists.

Answer

Looks like this was just a glitch, and that the third time is a charm (in my case). I reloaded from the save a second time and still had the problem. But my third reload dropped me right next to the flower pile I'd hidden from the Janissaries in with a perfectly empty Templar awareness meter, ready to begin my next adventure (or run around killing guards for no real reason).

Edit: Or maybe, as Shinrai notes above, it's plot-related somehow, and the way to get rid of it is either to reload a bunch of times or just keep on keepin' on, doin' missions, and eventually it goes away.
