Part of the reason it persistently comes up is that Robert Griesemer got his PhD under Mössenböck and Wirth, and people not paying very close attention would probably also see the Oberon-2 connection as a confirmation via an indirect step rather than as an argument against the claim.

Yes, Mössenböck was his PhD supervisor (Wirth was only co-examiner). Personally I consider Oberon-2 a better language, but there are hardly any applications of bound procedures; particularly not in the Oberon systems developed at ETH, and surprisingly few in Linz Oberon either. And Active Oberon followed the more conventional Object Pascal approach.
