I don't think he's done any worse contradicting himself than the EU novels themselves have done (he's not near as bad IMO), but obviously YMMV. As far as GL himself contradicting the EU with TCW, IMO that doesn't count as contradicting his own continuity: unlike TCW, GL never had such a heavy hand in the books. He doesn't care about them. If other people do care, that's fine, but I've always thought it was a mistake to try to shoehorn the EU into a hard, fast, singular continuity with the films.
As far as Anakin seeing that vision of the future in the next episode, it occurs to me - even if he is shown a play-by-play of RotS on Mortis, I doubt he'd believe it. Anakin doesn't seem to much believe in things he can't hold in his hands - the Chosen One prophecy is a "myth" to him; Iego's angry god was "a load of" superstition. The Shmi vision he experienced - which he immediately labeled as "black arts" - turned out to be a fabrication by the Son, who has proven himself more than willing to manipulate Anakin into joining him. I don't have any trouble believing Anakin would dismiss such a troubling "vision" of his future shown to him by the Son as yet another fabrication.
