Yes, I've noticed the same problem with prequels. It's so odd - it feels like it shouldn't be that hard to go back and check the details, write them all down so the story in the prequel matches the hints that are dropped later. But no one seems to do it.
Or maybe they start writing and the story gets away from them? Who knows. I find that prequels are much chancier than sequels, and sequels can be pretty chancy themselves.
