Cases like that does make one really wish they would just release an official timeline already, which doesn't seem out of place for them to do since they've recently done official guidebooks for each movie (although even those aren't perfect like with Tina Minoru in the 'Doctor Strange' one). The MCU Wiki has taken the Tina situation to mean that there's two counterparts of Tina on Earth-199999; the Mistress of the Hong Kong Sanctum, and the tech genius CEO of Wizard.

It wouldn't be the first time the MCU adapts the same character as two separate entities; there's a Jackson Norriss who works for WHiH Newsfront, and a Jackson Norris who works for the Ten Rings, while two SHIELD Agents are named Cameron Klein; one who appeared in Winter Soldier and Age of Ultron, and one who was part of Project T.A.H.I.T.I. in Agents of SHIELD. With the Jackson Norris(s) and Cameron Klein examples though, we had the fortune of different spellings for the former, and the name being changed for the latter (also a case where the character wasn't named in the movies other than in the credits).

And in the movies (feature like 'Winter Soldier' and 'Age of Ultron', and short like 'All Hail the King'), those versions of the characters had more important roles (actual speaking ones and important roles to the plot) than Tina had in 'Doctor Strange' (nothing more than a background character who was barely noticeable), so it's easier to ignore her appearance in that movie in relation to her 'Runaways' role. In the movie she was supposedly the Master for the Hong Kong Sanctum (like Daniel Drumm was for New York and Sol Rama was for London), although it wasn't properly established other than her brief appearance in the beginning meeting with the Ancient One (most of her scenes ended up being cut including her picking up the Staff of One), so most people probably presumed it was Wong who was the Master.

Although once the 'Doctor Strange 2' movie is officially announced with a release date and all, hopefully someone will send Scott Derrickson a tweet or a question for a Q&A, asking if he and his co-writing team are planning to include Tina in the sequel at all in some form, and if so if the tv show version will be taken into account or not (though most likely not unless stuff like that will change after 'Infinity War').
