Hilarious in Hindsight has an awful description that doesn't make it at all clear where the line is drawn. It does say "any belated lighthearted coincidence would fit under this trope", which positively invites this kind of actor coincidence example. It's true that the cleanup thread routinely deletes these, but maybe the problems with the description should also be addressed?

The issue is also that the example refers to things that happened before the work’s release, when the trope is limited to things that happened after the work’s release.

Concerns about the (non-)trope are for Trope Talk.

I'd think it's fine to remove the example again as misuse.

I also sent them an PM directing them to the cleanup thread.
