After all, we know for sure that a person wearing a Lt.Cmdr's pin (as intended by Fletcher) is properly called a Lieutenant by her seniors.
AFAIR the only person called Lt. and wearing the Lt. Cmdr.-Pin was Valeris. And this was an error of the costume-department.

So perhaps the pin Fletcher designed for Lt.Cmdr is actually a Lt (sg) pin in proper Starfleet usage?
Nope, Rand wears the Lt. Cmdr.-Pin and she was called Commander. Pic (Fact Files): http://www.geocities.com/fitz8472/startrek/uniforms/mov_pin_example_ltcmdr3.jpg
Script:
RAND: All right, gamma shift. Time to defend the Federation against gaseous anomalies.
JANEWAY: Gaseous anomalies. We were charting a gaseous anomaly on Voyager.
TUVOK: And that's when my problem began.
JANEWAY: That's more than a coincidence.
RAND: How are you this morning, Ensign?
TUVOK: I am well, Commander. Thank you.
RAND: I thought you might like to see some of this morning's com traffic before you went on duty. There's a message from the Yorktown I think you might be interested in. It's from your father.
TUVOK: Thank you.
RAND: You're not gonna have time to drink that, you know. You're due on the bridge in five minutes.
TUVOK: It's not for me. It's for the captain. I've observed that Captain Sulu drinks a cup of tea each morning. I thought he might enjoy a Vulcan blend.
RAND: Oh, I see. Trying to make lieutenant in your first month? I wish I'd have thought of that when I was your age. Took me three years just to make ensign.
TUVOK: I assure you, I have no ulterior motive.
RAND: Whatever you say, Ensign. See you on the bridge.
JANEWAY: You've never brought me tea.
