Hmm interesting. I must admit I did not see any issues the first time I read though this new lore.
That being said, this is a discussion worth having. The portion of the lore which struck me as odd was Guthix being partially unaware of Seren chosing to shatter herself, despite having us tell him that very thing in within the light.
However, after some lore delving it is not as weird as it seems. When we meet Guthix in the past he already made the choice to banish the gods:
Guthix
Forgive me, I do not know the words you use to count down the ages. Since we are known to one another, perhaps I can tell you what is going on in Gielinor now. This...wonderful...world has been besieged by younger gods. They have brought with them their wars, their cruelties and their callousness. The people of Gielinor have suffered enough, I have no choice but to banish the other gods. All of them.
As such it should not be weird that he expects to banish Seren as well with that. Only then do we tell him Seren had chosen to shatter herself:
Player:
I've come on behalf of the elves. We need to know how we can restore Seren.
Player:
When you demand she leaves she will choose to shatter herself into crystals rather than abandon the elves.
So basically the dark memory is an exact reflection of Guthix his chain of thoughts during within the light: he first thinks he will be banishing all gods, including Seren, only to then hear from the World Gaurdian Seren choses a different path. The lore fits perfectly in fact, better than I expected. "One should not mindlessly follow gods or the godless:

Restore? I'm afraid I do not understand...

Guthix:
Seren... Such incredible sacrifice. Her bond to the elves may be unbreakable, but I cannot discriminate. Gielinor must be safe from the wrath of gods. It is the only way.
