2 problems:
1. Pynchon has in fact given this character the same
name as his college roomate.
2. You can't possibly know that "He doesn't name his
characters after his friends." For starters, you don't
know the names of all of Pynchon's friends or how that
list might or might not coincide with the names of all
the characters he's named in his fiction.
I find it unlikely that P was unaware he was giving
this character the same name as his college roomate.
