Shouldn't the article indicate the the Ovidian and Hyginian tales conflict? The one has a virgin suicide, and the other has a memorial metamorphosis. It's true, of course, that there is a loose "young woman/virgin" language play, but it's likely that Ovid was either working from a separate set of tales or that the tragedians were adapting. Given Euripedes's Bacchae, it's likely that there was a very rich "Dionysus and women" cultic lore that probably remained out of popular religion.
