"And...in The Avengers -- the Tesserect was recovered from the ocean with Steve Rogers, while in Captain Marvel - Goose vomits it up on Fury's desk."
I don't think this is an inconsistency, as I'll explain below, but if it is, the problem pre-dates The Avengers -- we saw Howard Stark recover the Tesseract at the end of the first Captain America movie.
So, if the government (loosely defined) acquired the Tesseract in roughly 1945, how did it only come to Fury 50 years later? We know that the evil scientist/Kree commander was using it. After the explosion in which Captain Marvel got her powers, it was taken by someone -- perhaps Skrull or perhaps Kree; I can't recall exactly -- and then taken to the ship where Captain Marvel eventually recovered it. This seems quite likely, since we also know that SHIELD was compromised by Hydra pretty much from the beginning. The good guys didn't have access to the Tesseract, but the bad guys did. Thus, having Goose "deliver" it to Fury is necessary to explain how he got access to it and why we see him experimenting with it at the beginning of The Avengers.
