One problem with that - Mashima literally pulls bullshit connections out of his ass in every single arc. Is it good writing? Nope. Is this an anomaly in Fairy Tail? No. It's very common, so why should it bother me now? Erza's parents have never been mentioned, so while it is random, it isn't a retcon. So I'm not seeing your point.
