I know you been assuming this for a while now, but I assure you it's not the case. I put this out on the polling page and DevonAnderson's page and now I'm going to do the same for you. The episodes from the 2010-2011 season and the 2011-2012 season are two different airing seasons. The production filming of 26 episodes for Season 4 were split so the second half became it's own production season hence why the number coding was different (2010-11: 3xx, 2011-12: 4xx). So it was going to air as a new season. Different number coding mean a different season. You even linked me to a tweet Miranda made saying on her twitter account that the new season was Season 6: https://twitter.com/#!/MirandaCosgrove/status/162294729671847936. But obviously she's referring to how it's going to air. It's labeled Season 5 in some sources (and people on the show like Jennette in a video) in terms of production because of the 5xx coding. The new season technically is Season 5 and would be that way airing-wise had the Season 2 production episodes not been split into two airing seasons.

HOWEVER, the biggest thing that supports this notion is the fact that the 13 Season 4 episodes were even released on DVD as the "COMPLETE 3rd Season". "Complete" meaning the whole airing season, and "3rd" in terms of it being produced out of the show's third season cycle (that's actually the real Season 3).
