The only problem is that the anime director did not tell Mashima to bring back Lisanna. The story goes the director of the anime put Lisanna's supossed death in that didn't exist in the manga and left it out in the open so that in case Mashima decided that she would be alive it, the two works wouldn't contradict. Also, where did you read that Masima writes the anime fillers. I think what you mean to say is the anime fillers excluding the Daphne arc and like two other episodes, are based on manga omake with alot of extra scenes added in. As for the current filler arc, Mashima referenced it in the 282nd chapter when Yukino talks about Zentopia (That's where the Edo-Earthland guys come from) That most likely (but not definitely) means that Mashima wrote the arc and its characters. Also, the first ova is also based on a manga omake as well, with added parts of course. (I guess that's more then one problem, but you get my point).
