Just guessing here, but the difference in railings between Rivendell and Minas Tirith could be a subtle hint from the filmmakers. I don't think they'd make hobbit-sized railings in FOTR without a good reason. The reason may be to emphasize the contrast between the two places; Rivendell is a cozy, accommodating refuge; while Minas Tirith is a besieged fortress that has no room for indulging hobbit-folk with railings that are just the right size.

Or maybe it's just an honest mistake. Who knows?
