I wasn't around when (or if) the topic every came up. I assume it's the same reason we had Joseph Crim and whole lot of other fanon material. Stuff wasn't organized and people were thinking fan theories were safe to assume as canon. Gets on the wiki or among the fans and no one even questions it was unproven or false. It happens.

Also, the designs for the V Sword were a katana description in Cloture (August, 2010), a rapier design in EK's cover (December 2010), then a consistent use of "katana" from Wiegenlied (Feb 2011), onward.

Ichika's rapier design was probably similar to the Gumina hairstyle inconsistency.
