Eh, I can easily see both sides to this argument. I can understand the people who point to her love for/attraction to both Oz and Xander as proof that she was bisexual. I can also understand that gay women/men often have relationships with opposite gender partners before coming out/realizing their sexuality.

As to the OP's argument, I don't think Willow being confused about Oz's return is proof that she's bisexual. Willow was only just falling for Tara at that point so it's completely understandable that she was still having conflicting feelings because she'd barely even admitted to herself that she'd fallen for a woman. And even if she was no longer sexually attracted to Oz, that doesn't mean her love for him went away. She could easily confuse those lingering feelings for him as romantic/sexual even if they weren't. If people want to see her as bisexual, that's fine, but I don't think her conflicted feelings about Oz when she was just beginning to question her sexuality is proof that she's not a lesbian.

I also don't think Willow self-identifying as gay in canon means she can't be bisexual. Willow existed in a show written by a straight man and her relationship with Tara was introduced more than 15 years ago.

It would've been nice if Willow's sexuality was more clearly defined, but plenty of shows being made right now can't accomplish this. And even when we do get confirmed bisexual characters, they're almost never called bisexual in canon. They're always said to "dislike labels" or some such nonsense that lets the writers introduce bisexual characters without actually identifying them as bisexual.
