Actually, you've got a really good point here, Jake. I hadn't ever thought about it this way either, but you're absolutely right. The creator may have picked the cast he wanted (and that's if he/she personally controlled casting), but once the actors are hired it's their responsibility to fill in the blanks.
Apparently (at least according to a one-page article in Newtype) the Japanese seiyuu are given scripts with fairly large sections marked "adlib" and they just make it up, then it gets animated.
So I think we need to generalize the original point, which was staying true to the original. It isn't really that we're talking about staying true to the Creator's vision, alone; it's that we're trying to stay true to the original vision of the work, which is due to the entirety of the original team and not just the director.
