I will agree that the novels have done a better job with the MU, but that kind of makes sense anyway. There's more room to build a story in a novel. You can get a little more hung up on the details than you can in a TV show or even a movie.

Well the Klingon cruiser that chased them back to it after they escaped Terok Nor would have reported it, I should imagine. And the Alliance would have had a fair idea of what had happened from Kira and Bashir's account of how they got to the MU.
The last MU episode DS9 did, The Emperor's New Cloak, actually contradicts the earlier MU episodes by making out that cloaking devices don't exist in the MU whereas they had been shown to be in use in the earlier stories, e.g. Through the Looking Glass. And In A Mirror Darkly shows that the Terran Empire had cloaking devices on their ships, so I hardly think there were none to be found by DS9's time.
As for the Borg, my pet theory is that when the I.S.S. Enterprise under Mirror-Kirk encountered the proto-Borg that where in that Manga TOS comic, they managed to totally destroy them, so the Borg don't exist in the MU.

^ have you read the Shards and Shadows anthology and the trade Glass Empires and Obsidian Alliances books?
