There's a topic about this at the team's talk page. Basically, at the time of that discussion, there was nothing in the manga alone that invalidated the claim, so any inconsistency could indeed be chalked up by the anime not paying enough attention to established facts. Not sure if anything changes with the canonization of the Curry of Life arc through Buntan.
