It would be an inconsistency if he was, since he was trapped inside of a black bottle, not a gold lamp. Plus Aladdin specifcally said that the genie moved on. And not to mention that it's been in Gold's shop for a period of time.

Actually, they were talking about two different genies. Aladdin implied that whoever's lamp this was wasn't the same as his genie friend.
