OK - so I have just noticed that the entire S5 so far is still up on YouTube.
Whether this is deliberate policy by Moffat to drive us all crazy with geekery, I know not. But at this stage I wouldn't put it past him.
So, I have now watched the relevant clip a bunch of times, and:
The Returning Doctor in Flesh & Stone is not just wearing the jacket and having a different demeanour (which could in theory be put down to a serious continuity glitch) - his entire outfit is different. His shirt is different, his watch is different (and I'm now sure that the watch that the Returning Doctor is wearing - the one with the leather strap, rather than the bling, is one we see on other occasions as well), the whole look is different.
Unless this shot was made at a completely different time to the two around it (in which case, your continuity people would be all-fking-over-it), this is deliberate and we have to conclude that we're seeing two different Doctors - although I admit it's still possible that the Returning Doctor is just Amy's subconscious trying to reassure her, ie that he's not actually real.
