Hmmn. I don't think we can resolve this question.
I still think Inglorion is most likely a patronymic (for the reasons Galin stated). Maybe Tolkien intended to have Gildor to play a more important part in the story than he ending up doing. Then later he saw no need to correct the name, because "Inglor" was no longer Felagund and "the House of Finrod" need not (I think) imply a blood-relationship.
