He sure does. All these inconsistencies could be explained away, if we are taking it seriously, or used in a crackpot theory.
By the way, your mention of Amroth reminds me of another possible candidature for Goldberry. And it is, of course... Nimrodel!
This maiden was surely strongly associated with the river.
She was quite likely fair-haired , like Goldberry.

Perhaps Tom lived with several Goldberries?
