I wouldn't call it a continuity error. I would call it a decision to do the
movie version differently from the Diary.  They also handled the TB
investigation differently from the Autobiography. In it, it is Coop who
discovers the letter under the nail and there is no mention of the other
agents. While having them isn't inconsistent, having them finding the
letter is.

As Emerson said (but is widely misquoted, so I will probably disgrace
myself as well): "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds."

A true continuity error is how they handled the chess positions and the
domino in the series, (though in the latter case, apparently the original
domino disappeared from props).
