The pony pulling Ditchwater Sal's cart changes throughout the movie. This would be so as to not overwork any one animal. It is most noticeable in the scene when Una is driving the cart after Yvaine. When she is in the city, the pony has a white stripe all the way down its face; when it is galloping in the forest, it has two separate white spots on its face; and the pony that Tristan detaches from the cart and rides has one spot on its face. Also when Tristan detaches the pony, it only has on riding gear (a saddle and bridle), whereas earlier in the scene it only has on a harness for pulling the cart. See more...

When Tristan asks the name of the 'girl' at the inn, 'she' replies Bernard. She has a deep male voice, to make it funnier, but the voice she uses is lower than Bernard's real voice. [He/she started as a human male, was turned into a goat, turned back into a human female. Isn't it possible the magic did soemthing to cause his/her vocal cords to mess up on occasion?]
When Septimus finds Tristan outside the Witches' lair and asks him what he is doing there, Tristan replies: "I might ask you the same thing". When he finishes speaking, he closes his mouth, but when the camera moves down to his knife, his mouth is slightly open. This happens instantly [So he opens his mouth a little bit again. Where's the mistake in that?]

The runes used by the soothsayers are supposed to have only one carved side. The carved side means that the answer to the question is "yes" while the plain side means "no". Because the chance of getting all four pieces of runes to show only carved or plain side at the same time is hard to achieve, the runes used when the expected answer is "yes" are actually carved on both sides while the plain runes are used when the answer is "no." That way, a minor scene could be completed without wasting time and movie reels. [That sounds more like so-so trivia than a mistake. Since we can never see both sides of the runes at the same time, and after they've been thrown they'd be impossible to keep track of, this couldn't possibly be seen within the movie. So it isn't a movie mistake, deliberate or otherwise.]

When Lamia is doing little magic, like turning Bernard into a goat, she gets older little by little. But when she uses a lot of magic (making an inn out of a chariot, for example), she doesn't change an iota. [The first couple of times she uses magic, her hands look much older, then her hair becomes thinner. The visible parts of her body are now much older looking. After the inn scene, non-visible parts of her body could be getting older. The scene where she is in the chariot, and her boobs lose their firmness is an example of non-visible body parts that age with use of magic.]
After Lamia enslaves Yvaine and Una at the gap in the wall, all three leave in Lamia's coach. Tristan arrives shortly after and unhitches the horse from the yellow wagon and chases after them. When Septimus arrives a few moments later, the wagon is gone. [It's not gone, it's simply out of frame.]
