Donald Bellisario used the phrase "Post-Creative Rationalization."
You do what you need to to move the story forward, and in episodic television, that means getting it done quickly, with far less time to revise the material than a typical published written work (unless you're Nora Roberts, who seems can produce a book a week.) and you make up a reason for it later if need be.
I'm sure if a future episode of Dr. Who required explaining the perceived time-line crossing, the Doctor would deliver an iron-clad, Time Lord-authoritative, timey-wimey answer.
