The second just ignores the context of the scene in "Jedi" where this is discussed. Luke specifically says "your real mother." It's clear he's talking about their biological mother. That's the whole point of that scene. Luke is about to tell Leia that they are twins and were separated at birth. Asking if she remembers her adoptive mother has nothing to do with that.
Actually his first suggestion is exactly the explanation the EU has given. What was the film going to do to "support" it? Insert a subtitle saying, "Oh look, Little Leia is subconsciously using the Force to remember her mother!"
It's also supported in the novelization of Episode III (which occupies a slightly higher "canon tier" in Lucasfilm's system than most other novels) in that it's explicitly noted that Leia's eyes are open and she sees Padme, whereas Luke doesn't.
Either way, it only becomes a "conflict" if you completely discount the quasi-mystical nature of the Force. Now, I don't disagree that the intention of the OT scene was shifted by the prequels (generally, the timeline seems to have been shortened by 10-20 years overall between the OT and PT), but I find the explanation given to reconcile the difference in this case to be perfectly plausible...and not exactly something that can easily be shown "on-screen."

Basically, due to technology and such, a human lives around 120-150 years or so.
Funny how this only seems to apply to main characters or popular supporting characters and no one else.
Of course, DDP had to "slide the timescale" to keep publishing the Joes as being "in their prime." Hence Snake-Eyes and Stalker were no longer Vietnam vets, just vets of some "unnamed Southeast Asian Conflict that couldn't possibly be Vietnam because it happened in like, the late 80's/early 90s."
