If there were copies of Romana up to Romana VIII in the Matrix, then the Matrix's Romana Trey had to have been copied long before Romana died, and had all the time in the word to diverge (and possibly choose a new name for herself). This goes double if Romana somehow meets the Matrix-Romana(s). That alone makes it seem to me like they should be treated like different characters.
