So my latest, convoluted theory:
At the end, Ted didn't call her "Aunt Quinn," he said "this is how I met Quinn." Now, perhaps Quinn doesn't merit Aunt status for the purposes of the story, unlike the core cast.
Or, the mother is Quinn's friend, who is set to marry Barney, but they don't get married/do get divorced. This would allow the kids to meet Quinn at some future time as a friend of their mother's, without her necessarily being together with "Uncle" Barney.
