Good catch!  I think it's a good piece of characterization on JKR's 
part, not an inconsistency.  Sirius is scathing towards Peter when he 
flinches; a few moments later, Peter says the name as if to prove 
that he isn't afraid, Voldemort is not his master, and he's just like 
Sirius and Remus.

You can't read too much into any one use of any name (e.g. I'm not 
going to conclude that Snape is really a DE because the one time he 
mentions Voldemort he calls him the Dark Lord), but there do seem to 
be trends.
