Having read a bunch of Herzog's writings, I wouldn't surprised if he genuinely wasn't aware of Ferrara. Herzog, as others have (Tarkovsky being a notable example), has professed to not being that interested in other filmmakers.
Once Herzog was confronted with the "controversy", he was as magnanimous (not belittling at all) as anyone could be about it, saying that he'd gladly meet Ferrara over a beer and make up.
The point remains that Herzog's film has nothing to do with Ferrara's — the whole debacle is just uninteresting, tiring politics. I don't know why you bother mentioning it.
