If my memory serves the post apoc Earth setting was clear as day to me by something in book three of the original series. Can't remember exactly what was written or when but I remember having a moment of "WOW! This world is actually ours set in the far distant future!" I'm pretty sure it was something Allanon said about the race of trolls.
Anyway, from that point on I just thought that was the way it was. Never even realised it wasn't "official" or that there was any debate about the issue until much later.
