It's probably worth pointing out that when Legolas speaks to Imrahil, he says "'It is long since the people of Nimrodel left the woodlands of Lórien, and yet still one may see that not all sailed from Amroth's haven west over water."
Imrahil replies "So it is said in the lore of my land [...] yet never has one of the fair folk been seen there for years beyond count."
So regardless of what actually happened, Legolas himself seems to think it's the Mithrellas option. He appears to perceive a trace of "the people of Nimrodel" in Imrahil. Of course he might have just been guessing.
