I haven't had the pleasure of reading Wilson's translation yet, but it's good to see that she's trying to improve her work. One of the major criticisms leveled against her is the overuse of the word "slave", which is very loaded in today's vocabulary. There were many different types of unfree work, and attitudes toward them would be very different from today. Grouping them all into slaves would definitely remove a lot of nuance. Really nice to see that she is working on this problem; I think she will be respected a lot more if she solves it.
The story states that her retranslation predates the movie, and goes on to explain that it is common for translators to revisit their work, and also that the new version does not have a publication date and is about half done. The world will have well and truly forgotten about Nolan's Odyssey by the time V2 ships.
So no, I don't think it's fair to call this piggybacking.

Is this what is called piggybacking?
