Actually, he was the writer -- the rest of the tem was pretty much on break for AC3 and simply nodded when he presented his story. And the higher ups at Ubisoft don't really care about what happens in term of history -- it's like LucasArts and Star Wars novels and games, George Lcuas doesnt see everything that is created. But in the case of Lucasarts they have LucasLicensing, which is a team of people who are paid to not let new installments fuck the stablished story, which is exactly the thing Ubisoft lacked here.

And about Ezio saying in the backcase of AC2 when it launched that he was related to Altair, I cant really confirm it, I have the PC collectors edition. Anyone who has it can confirm that?
