I don't think we can say outright that the retcon doesn't exist. Only that it's looking less likely now than it did a month ago, because of some weird tweet wording:


 * @bwburke94: "Repeating my inquiry on the Neo's name front, as all official @roosterteeth sources spell her name Neopolitan...?"
 * @RWBYAmityArena: "It's probably just one of those things where it organically evolved even if it started that way in the concept phase. It was fun trivia for us to know that her name started off like that even if it isn't known that way now."

This statement, when compared to their earlier tweets, seems at first glance to indicate a retcon from Neo Politan to Neopolitan, which is so outrageously insane that some wires must have been crossed somewhere. (It would neatly resolve the file name contradiction, but not the subsequent convo with RT. And it contradicts Monty's Facebook, which had her as Neopolitan from the start.)

If we instead take it as indicating a retcon from Neopolitan to Neo Politan, then not only do we have two self-contradictory tweets, we may have contradictory evidence in Chibi and Combat Ready depending on dating. This retcon would have taken place "in the concept phase", possibly but not necessarily referring to Volume 2's production.

So at face value, neither retcon could have happened without someone seriously dropping the ball. I've sent one last tweet to try and resolve this mess.
