Well, if it's contradicting itself so soon after being introduced, then it has to be interesting, right? At least Kubo is doing something new. Joking aside, yes, it is confusing and seems to make no sense at the moment - however, it'd be presumptuous to say that Kubo has no intention of elaborating on it. The series wasn't exactly designed to have an encyclopedia based off it, so naturally it comes off as being strange because that means we have to work on an article with incomplete data. I don't quite understand your argument about why the parent couldn't be a Shinigami who got attacked by a Hollow; all of the Fullbringers are Human, and stated as such. Hence there's no logical reason why a pure Shinigami would be born with Fullbring. Also, wasn't it stated that Ichigo's reiatsu was already slowly returning without him knowing it? I can't quite remember the Ju-Ni translation, but that was stated by Uryu in one of the Mangastream releases.
