Any idea why IMDB lists Fisher Stevens' role as George Minkowski as a
(voice) role? He's clearly right there on screen, large as life.

Its probably inaccurate, as the episode hasn't yet fully aired.

Somebody probably just copied/pasted the entry over from the Season 3
finale episode, in which only Minkowski's voice is heard.

Typically, IMDb gives the first appearance credit when an actor has more
than one credit on a series. First in this case was voice only.

Yeah but... if you listen to Minkowski's voice in the Season 3 finale, it
doesn't sound anything like Fisher Stevens. Clearly, the Season 3 finale was
filmed before Fisher Stevens was cast.

This oddity is similar to near the end of Season 1 where Boone heard "No,
we're the survivors of 815!" on a plane radio, which was later "retconned"
into Bernard being the source of that broadcast, even though in the original
scene it didn't sound anything like Bernard.

Because he has appeared on the show only over the fancy phone until this
week. Go ahead and fix it if you want - that's what IMDB is for.*

Perhaps because up until last night, he was only a voice on the
radio.
