Gale's intro is actually more of a plot hole, imo, than Astarion.
He says, "Last time I saw you, you were in a crucible's worth of blood - an intellect devourer nibbling at your ear."

When was I at any point in a "crucible's worth of blood" with "an intellect devourer nibbling at my ear?"
It is. At this point, I always want to tell him to be more careful with hallucinogenic substances in the future, but unfortunately the game doesn't provide this option.
