Cap’s shield was often described as Adamantium-Vibranium–but all of that stemmed from that one incorrect Handbook listing, so it was a persistent and recurring error (much like the Falcon being considered a mutant based on a limited series that didn’t nail it’s reference.) So it’s not a change, just a mistake that spread–especially since it’s such a natural mistake for people to make, or assume.
