Would make no sense to have her call him Kojou-kun then if they were retconning this, because that's the way she called him in the short story. If they were altering it, they would have surely done away with the second major indicator.

Reina doesn't call Kojou by name, she calls him "papa" in the epilogue.
The better indicator is the moment she first saw him. She instinctively called him Kojou-kun before switching over to senpai. That shows her habitual behaviour.

And as said, the name-calling is Akatsuki-tradition. Most prominently shown by Nagisa who always calls her father and mother Mimori-chan and Gajou-kun. You are overthinking it, because it isn't really inconsistent.
