You are indeed right as this has been brought up a few times in the past. Here's a link to at least two of the threads I know of off-hand.

As for RP'ing a canon character... It's not my favorite thing to say the least. Not that I haven't met three Hildibrand RP'ers, and at least one full set of the scions, and the Sultana herself walking about unguarded as if saying she was Sultana in public was... A wise thing?
Not my cup of tea, personally.
As for the 'spoilers' you mentioned prior. A lot of the RP'ers have been RP'ing since 2.0 (or back in 1.0) so the continuity of the story gets broken if suddenly, Minifilia appears. The moment you hit 3.0, what Minfilia? I'm sure you can see why people would avoid such a situation, especially when said character isn't about when they, themselves, are RP'ing HW content.
