The difference however is that Penny said she was fighting in the tournament, but Sun never did. In fact the only reason that Team RWBY chased him at all is because Yang said he was the competition.

The problem with this is that Yang, unless she knows him personally, would have no way of knowing that he was a student from another school or if he was even fighting at all. All we get without Yang, is that he was a stow-away on a ship that happened to be arriving near the time of the festival, which may or may not have been the reason he was there at all. Yang just pulls that line out of her...gauntlets and we the audience are just supposed to accept that as fact? I think not.
