I probably oversold the Wolverine and FF bits. The first is just conspiracy theory, the second is rumor. (A rumor that makes me angry if true, so that might've fed into this).

I'd really have to do some digging, but I'm pretty sure in the past the top editors of Marvel have told some pretty tall tales about how they're doing what's best for the comics, and the cinematic universe has no bearing on what they're doing.

I can't recall what exactly was the issue that annoyed me at the time, but it seems like they'll hit the reset button on most series when the movie comes out.

Here's an example: Captain America came out July 22, 2011.

The issue Steve Rogers reclaims the Captain America costume from Bucky Barnes came out July 6th, 2011.

It's things like that, and maybe they're owning up to it more these days as it gets more transparent (Fury), but they've been pretty bad about waving fans off when they predict resets like that.

And for the most part it doesn't bug me, I even get why they're doing this with Nick. I hate seeing Dugan's past retconned, though, and I hate some of the costumes they're doing to emulate the movies. Hawkeye especially.
