I wouldn't call it a minor retcon. That's how the outbreak in the original film resolved, and how 28 Weeks Later started. You could argue it caused a mutation this time, but that only requires even further suspension of disbelief if the rules don't stay consistent.
I mean look at all the covid mutations and how fast that happened.
