It would be a programming nightmare to have the NPC appear in one place and not in another, depending on the status of a quest. So when the NPC says "I'll see you inside", you're going to find that NPC in both places. The NPC in place you're supposed to be will be accessible; the other won't.

There is an exception to that, as sometimes Penny Dreadful never makes it out of the Dark Cave, and sometimes she's there.
