Akavir is famous for havinga certain very complex Tscaesci (spelling fail on my part. Crazy vampire lizard thingies.) language and a culture who literally refuses to have a straightforward prophecy even when the fate of the world is in their hands that SOME neoDragonguard multiple eras later will actually be able to interpret it.

Heck, the devs could be trolling us and Esbern could be retconned to being at least partially wrong. Perhaps Last Dragonborn was actually supposed to be Lasting Dragonborn (he goes to Apocrypha or somewhere and simply doesn't die, ever) or something equally easy to 'misinterpret'. Heck, the prophecy-writers could have somehow missed the end of the vision (or it ended before the big battle in Sovngarde and stuff) and assumed Alduin ate the Last Dragonborn and the world would end accordingly.
