I flew with some older FMS's for awhile, and a controller asked about our tail number, which was being transmitted as another ID.
We looked in the FMS, and sure enough, the previous tail number was still in the box.
We were able to change it from the cockpit, although we were on the ground when we did it. I don't know if that would make a difference.
The FMS did talk to the transponder.
Also, ATC doesn't see the tail number for an airliner. Just flight number and airline code
