I am not sure what you call them exactly. I don't think it's a plot hole, because it's not related to the story itself.
Let me give you an example:
Let's say your novel is set in Italy, but everyone speaks German or English.
Is there a specific term to this?

I'd go with inconsistency; to be even more specific, I'd say the worldbuilding is not consistent or poor.
I second J.G. in saying that you're interested in inconguities at large.
