I've also been thinking about the contradicting stories, concerning the charm's origin, which Isshin told Ichigo, and Kon. My theory is that when Ichigo failed to keep the charm on his body at all times, proven when Isshin had to dash out to save Kon from Grand Fisher, Isshin then changed tactics. He focused his effort on Kon instead, told him a story about how the charm was made for him, and hoped that Kon would do a better job of carrying with him than Ichigo previously had.
