Well, let's see. We know now that River has Time Lord traits... Does the Doctor bother that much over which face the Master or any of the other Time Lords are wearing after he knows it's them? Maybe she doesn't really see the facial features once she knows it's him? Or perhaps Picnic at Asgard happens with a nostalgic Twelfth Doctor and she didn't have the Doctors in order? Or she doesn't have a clear memory of Picnic at Asgard, just the diary entry. Or Picnic at Asgard didn't actually happen, it's a test question to catch an imposter.

And say she HAD done Picnic at Asgard with a later Ten - he NEVER would have let on anything she didn't know, because he knows how not to blow up the time stream. (Although, I doubt this is it, because the Doctor is borderline actively avoiding her at the Byzantium.)

All of these are the reasons I hope they never tell us the entire River Song Story. ;)
