I don't know if Chris was aware of the Mara-Madigan connection, but I certainly wasn't.
Not that it'd really matter; as you point out, the length of time is a factor, but also, Madigan has an Irish accent where Urd most certainly doesn't, and that would be a major difference that would separate the two in his head. (You don't think an accent makes that much difference? Check out one of the Dresden Files DVDs with a commentary track, and you would swear that the Paul Blackstone doing commentary is a completely different person from the one playing Harry Dresden on the screen.)
