It's clear that they didn't want it to be so. If they really wanted, they could. It's sad that a popular theory wasn't true, but that's how the cookie crumbles.

It's not that it wasn't true, they changed it. And your proof? The way they set it up happens to be the way they set up a lot of things, it could be one way or the other, but they leave it vague (or not specified) so that they can plan what to do with it later.

As far as I know, both stepsisters left for the ball were brunette. The ball was around a year or so before the curse. On the Wonderland side, we had the blonde Anastasia, who left a little less than a decade ago (afawk), have an ambitious mother who was angry at being bested by a step sister who  "got the prince".

They could have done a twist, but there were conflicts with the theory before this episode arose. So, there's no proof that they changed anything.
