Continuity mistake: In "Enter: Naruto Uzumaki!" While Iruka is thinking about what the Hokage said about Naruto, he's in bed without his green vest. When Mizuki pounds on the door, Iruka sits up and he's wearing the vest. But, when he opens his front door, he's not wearing it again.

Continuity mistake: In "Enter: Naruto Uzumaki!" Iruka set a log down next to him (The one disguised as the Book of Seals), but when Mizuki was about to throw the giant shuriken, it's not there anymore. It reappears in every other shot though.
Continuity mistake: In "Enter: Naruto Uzumaki!" During the confrontation scene with Naruto, Iruka and Mizuki, watch the shoulder of Iruka's vest.

Continuity mistake: In "Enter: Naruto Uzumaki!" When Naruto does the Kagebunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Jutsu) and all the clones are shown, the scroll that Naruto stole is missing. But, it reappears once more after Naruto has beaten up Mizuki.
Answer: In-character, he's not very good at Bunshin No Jutsu, so it's unreliable. Out-of-character, it's a classic plot device shared by hundreds of anime that people who're not generally too great can do spectacularly well when it really matters.
