Nothing's inconsistent here, as the origin of Chad's and Orihime's powers wasn't a solid fact before.

If that's the case, then we might as well also assume Chad being a fullbringer may not even be true despite what we've been told recently. Or to take it even further, perhaps we should never take anything we're given in this (or any fictional) series at face value...ever. Ultimately I agree with Haak. Though you may feel that Kubo himself never stated anything regarding the matter, these aren't real characters we're dealing with and this story doesn't unfold by itself every week. Every word they say and every event that occurs is written by the author, so their words are as close as we're going to get to being tantamount to Kubo's own words. Now it's true that characters can indeed misjudge things, or be misinformed, or even lie. But if this is to be the case, it's up to the author to inform the reader of when this has happened.
As things currently stand, we actually have no idea what the situation is regarding Chad--especially if we're to go by your own stance on the issue. Because no one has yet to make any reference to the explanations provided by Yoruichi and Aizen which means none of their explanations have officially been proven wrong yet. So for all we know Yoruichi, Aizen, and Ginjou could all be wrong about Chad. Or they could all be correct. Or only one of them could be correct. Or it may be possible that all of them could be partially correct. There's just simply no way to know. And that's Kubo's fault, which is why part of Bleach's fanbase criticizes him over certain things.
