However, this doesn't occur if Willy drops off the bottom whilst his x-coordinate* is even.

Actually, the above also relies on Willy being in an animation-frame other than his right-facing frame 0. (It is the right-hand half of his sprite that overwrites the first character of the scrolling message in this scenario, and if he is in right-facing frame 0 then his right half is Inkless.)
