Srimathey Nigamantha Maha Desikaya Namaha 
Dear Bhagavatas, 
I too have heard of this. In fact most north indians tease the tamilians for 
this because we say that Lord Krishna got married to His maternal uncle's 
daughter. This is not allowed in the case of most north indians (and very few 
tamilians too)where they reject the gothra of both the father and the mother 
while looking for a prospective bride or groom if it matches with either of 
their own gothras. In this case, Yasoda's brother's gothra would be same as 
hers before she got married. Hence they reinforce their argument that Nappinnai 
is even more imaginary after this relationship between her and Lord Krishna is 
mentioned.

I got the following clarification from an extremely knowledegable Sri
Vaishanava..
----------------------------------------------------------
Traditionally its said that HarivamSa mentions the name
of yaSOda's brother "kumbhaH" whose daughter is nappinai
playing with kRushNa from her childhood. I am yet to
take the references from HarivamSa reg this. Ref to this
child as incarnation of nILA dEvi also finds place in
HarivamSa - traditionally said so [yet to see HarivamSa].

Satya is different from nappinnai though the way they got
married is same reg the bulls story.
