How could it be? SM was clearly thinking the details through. He came up with Amy Pond, just so he could retro-actively fit River into being her daughter.
Why would that be a glaring error? The more likely scenario is that we've been led on a merry dance (not like it hasn't happened before), and the little girl is not River at all.
