Well, at least in the case of Julian vs. Julia, it was an inadvertent typo (though I suppose there's no such thing as an advertent typo ) on the casting sheet that caused the sex change. That incident was an extremely advantageous mistake because without it DS never would have had one of its greatest characters. The other name changes were deliberate.
And it's my understanding that the casting of Julia was practically down to the wire. One of the forum's Graysonphiles would probably be able to provide more details, but wasn't it the very next day after she was cast that Grayson had to show up for the taping of her first show? I'm thinking that the show referring to Dr. Hoffman as a male had already been shot well before that point, so there was probably no going back (not that, knowing how DC operated and how he thought the audience had short attention spans, he would have ) to correct it.
