The dress code might be strict only in theory. In practice, the only time it is enforced is when the superior officer specifically wants to make life less enjoyable for the subordinate, which was Tuvok's aim in "Learning Curve" and may have been Riker's in "Ensign Ro".

As for Miramanee's planet being PD protected, I guess it would be. But the movie might still have included deliberate "tips of the hat", even if they were bad continuity. And who knows, perhaps the primitive-looking people in fact were capable of warp speeds and high tech after taking a little telepathic sip of knowledge from the obelisk, and had simply forgotten to take it for a few successive months and lost the skill? Kirok's visit would jolt their memory...

Bajorans can't wear their funny ear-thingies and Worf can wear his ....errr... thing?

That easy to explain: There is onnly one Worf, and he *is* Klingon. Try telling a grumpy klingon to take of his honourable thing.
There are lots of Bajorans, and it's probably just a formality.

On the subject of uniform, Troi was allowed to wear her dresses all the time instead of a blue uniform until Captain Jellico came along.

I think Timo has nailed this one down. Someone working down in the sensor control room can probably get away with dressing a lot more casually than someone working on the bridge or a more hazardous location like engineering. Commanding officer's discretion, and all that.
