There is, as you say, a /difference/ between Okrandian canon and Star
Trek canon. If *poH qut* appears on a Star Trek show but wasn't written
or approved by Okrand, it is Star Trek canon, not Okrandian canon.

In addition to this, writers on Memory Alpha do not accept Okrandian
canon as Star Trek canon. If the script would reveal a spelling like
"po-koot" or so, then /that/ would be the Star Trek canon.

It seems silly from our point of view, but their policy is very strict
on this. (and I have had many and long discussions with them)

I don't think it's silly at all. Their interest is in Star Trek canon, and rightly so. Fans interested in Star Trek canon have no more reason to accept something Okrand says in a Facebook message to me as Star Trek canon than I do in accepting a line some writer has put in the mouth of a Klingon as Okrandian canon.
