... they really screw up continuity.

The specific instance I refer to is from 'Kiss Kiss Bang Bangalore', shown here last night.

It was where they had Bart apparently not know who McGyver was (I hope someone got fired for that). :)

Even a casual trawl through my memory reveals a specific counter-example

There are undoubtedly other examples too.

Yeah. Like that clock on the kitchen wall that always shows 9:15. Even at 4 in the morning. Why don't they buy a wall clock that works and use it to replace the one that is stuck at 9:15?

I doubt the current crop of writers has ever seen that episode. It sure doesn't seem like they're fans of the show.

But you'd expect Matt to pick up on something like that, though!

Matt who? Is there someone named Matt involved in the production of the show?

Are you saying that Matt Groening has no connection with the show now, apart from getting royalties?

Not at all! I'm saying that Matt Groening has little connection with the show now, apart from getting royalties.
