Donna was "a special, one series, and another special" companion.

Martha was a "one series, some episodes of Torchwood, then some more episodes of Doctor Who" companion.

Whatever other faults he has, Moffat is both professional enough and fannish enough to NOT make changes with far reaching consequences in his last season.

I'm not so sure. Anyone who would wedge in an apparently secret incarnation into the doctors timeline as a gimmick, and would diminish the doctors entire history with the nonsensical 'impossible girl' storyline surely has no qualms in trampling the doctors wider story whenever he see's fit.

I wouldn't be surprised if he was more likely to do this sort of thing in his last series so that people will remember it. He often seems more concerned with headline grabbing premises than good stories in my opinion.
