Would hijacking a branch affect the main trunk then? Because if that's not the case, I don't see how Baal can achieve total revenge by breaking one single branch. I must have skimmed over some details, but that's too convoluted for its own good. It is bonded to happen when a lore gets too deep and, like you said, when different authors have their takes on said lore.

It explains EMIYA Alter, and all weird variants of Servants we might see in the future. Hey, maybe even Saber Alter and Jeanne Alter from Shinjuku are "normal" Servants altered by the circumstances of this branch rather than plain corruption (aka this world's Artoria and Jeanne were evil). I'm sure there's nothing to back this up, but whatever, this is one of the branches of this lore : everyone's headcanon.
