Hmm... maybe Mr. Mona and Mr. Jacob will address this somehow in the Fiendish Codex?

It probably doesn't really need to be.
I mean, it's been what? Twenty years or so since that was the case, and what were originally a select few unique beings have been instead the names for a subtype/caste of fiends. It's been like that for two entire editions of the game, so at least in my opinion it really doesn't need to be revisited. Erik and James might feel otherwise, but it's pretty minor of a thing that has been solidly written out of existance, or clarified depending on how you wanted to look at it.

less than 15 actually, but yes the point is that the change was made some time ago and it is now so ingrained in D&D that it would be madness to remove it.
if'n i were working on this book, and i wished to address this issue, i would say something to the effect of:"millennia ago, balors, mariliths, and nalfeshnee were not known by those names. in reality, three demons, named Balor, Marilith, and Nalfeshnee respectively, became such exemplars of what it meant to be each of these types of demons, that the types were renamed after them."
and leave it at that. a paragraph maximum.
