Knowing how screenwriters work, and how these particular screenwriters work, I have no doubt that all these are very, very deliberate. People who know the films well will consider them repetitive to the point of preciousness. (Gandalf's "He is here" when Thorin arrives seems unnecessarily portentous, IMHO. Well, yes, he was invited and expected.) Casual viewers might notice them. I suspect they are aimed at the latter.

The Gollum one is obviously deliberate, though others could be coincidential
