This is not entirely uncommon.

True, but both of those happened before Marvel Studios split from Marvel Entertainment. What happened to Woodard was a complete miscommunication between the now-two companies, and I'm assuming the same happened here (though Shabook is right in that it's not as bad since Brown's face isn't in the movie). The company doesn't have anything to do with it. I assume they all happen because no one involved in the process is concerned about it. They're just casting character actors they think are right for the part. Marvel wouldn't have had to address Alfre Woodard's dual roles if she wasn't in the middle of promoting Luke Cage when people found out she was in Civil War.

Also, the second season of Daredevil came out after the split. Did it shoot before then? Does it really matter?
