Again, we separate Auton Rory from Rory Williams, despite the real Rory having the Auton's memories. So how is this any different?

It's very simple. We can't just go around speculating on when the Doctor is wrong or wright. We can't say "The Doctor said this, but he may be blatantly wrong or stupid so let's ignore it." (The exception is if it was a joke) Yes, you're entirely right, the Doctor may simply be wrong. But until we're told as such it's speculation to presume that he is such.

On that note, the Doctor only talked of three Claras:
 * The Dalek Oswin
 * The Past Clara
 * The Present Clara

I think that it is such speculation to presume that there are more Claras then the Doctor knew of. The Doctor only ever spoke of one present Clara, thus there must only be one present Clara.
