Well, I think the little inconsistencies with the Wish Realm may be explained (or handwaved) pretty much the same way as Isaac's AU: it's fiction. It doesn't have to be 100% consistent with reality and, actually, it's a bit off because it's not reality.

In the case of Isaac's AU, I think that's because he's a lousier writer than he'd admit. In the case of the Wish Ream, it has one sole purpose: to be Emma's perfect fantasy world, so anything in it is adjusted to that purpose. Maybe Stealthy being still alive, possible instead of another Dwarf, has some hidden ramifications that make that reality feasible.

If this interpretation is correct, though, I wish the writers had just played up the inconsistencies so that it would be clear there were meant to be some.
