To be fair about the Gregging (for once), I don't think there was even much of an indication he was known as Polaris to the Heortlings, so much as no indication of any name other than Polaris/Pole Star for 'im... (The old Prospaedia does say specifically 'Yelm Pantheon', frex.)

Depends. Is she smacking him over a head with a nastily pointy spear at the time? ;-)
To duck the Big Transcendent Truths (which'd leave us wondering if Mastakos was 'really the same' as Uleria, to take an extreme case), I think it depends on one's take on what Kallyr's precise relationship with the star is (and at this point in time too, before certain later stellar shenanigans). Objectively yes, you'd imagine that the DH cult is the 'superior understanding' of the celestial body, but it's far from impossible that the Rigsdal cult holds some secrets that the P. cult is haughtily oblivious too.
Personally I do wonder how well Polaris' magic, organising a balletically precise movement of a symphony of interconnected but separately moving military parts works with _any_ Orlanthi within several hundred miles, but that's another matter.
