I speculate due to heavy use of the term "alicorn" in the fandom, the animators must have gotten so used to the idea of it, and thus caused them to eventually put it up as an actual term within the show, despite it being inaccurate.

Keep in mind, the first two seasons are still explicitly "alicorn-free", and then there's the problem when the episode goes multi-lingual many months later.
