I don't remember the exact quote from the movie but when Morpheus takes Neo into the training program Neo asks about why he looks the way he does and Morpheus explains that it has to do with how Neo sees himself / remembers himself.
While I don't think I'll go so far as to call it a "plot hole" that somebody who has never actually seen his real world physical body just happens to perceive himself to look the same as that actual physical body, I do wonder how many people in the Matrix this hold true to... If they do make a new Matrix movie, it would be interesting to see a person wake up from inside of the Matrix and their real world body is actually played by another person. The other person could simply be a different person, or could be a different color, different gender, etc. This, if done right, could be an interesting thought... experiment (I'm not sure that's exactly how I want to phrase that, but can't think of something better at the moment) regarding self identity.
