You're reading too much into it.
Journalists are always trying to find a tagline to give a band who have a sound that is slightly different to what's around at that time. I remember the White Stripes when they first started getting talked about being called 'Blunk Rock' (As in a mixture of Blank Generation & Punk Rock).
If you ignore the music and think about the term 'Post Rock' actually means it's a pretty abstract concept really and the fact that it's been given to two different things (Probably by 2 different people) shouldn't really come as much as a surprise. It's just in one case it stuck and in another case it didn't.
