Momiji:
ざ za | じ ji | ず zu | ぜ ze | ぞ zo | じゃ ja | じゅ ju | じょ jo

So yeah, Zun mis-romanized it. And it's not the first thing he's mis-romanized (like Syameimaru).

What if he WANTED her to be called "Momizi" but he couldn't spell it like that in Japanese?

No, Momizi and Syameimaru would be in perfect alignment with Kunrei-shiki, the official romanisation scheme for Japan.
Hepburn is not correct, it's just intuitive for Westerners.

ZUN's greatest romanization is Marlin from PoFV hands down. If you can possibly explain how that came about, you are my hero.
