My understanding is that the Umbral eras are a time of great upheaval and usually much shorter-lived than the Astral eras.
I also think it's feasible that some characters - particularly those that are confused and coming out of the time rift - might not be aware or fully regard the shift of era right away. I think a character mistakingly regarding it as 1577 may still be all right for RP. But I would assume at some point the newspapers and such might reflect the new dating system. A lot of this is based on speculation. I'm not sure what qualifier there is to discern exactly when an umbral era is over, either.
