I already posted my theory on this: In episode 1 the ponies *did* recognize Nightmare Moon's appearance but simply didn't believe that it could really be her. After 1000 years NMM was considered a myth; a children's fable, so when a pony showed up looking like her they thought "Who the hay is that crazy pony dressed up like Nightmare Moon?"
