Or, cultures change after a 100 years, give or take a decade.
Worf is just a blowhard when it comes to describing his species. But seems like most blanket statements made about Klingons aren't usually accurate.
____
Kirk "Prayer Saavik, Klingons don't take prisoners."
Saavik, "I see, sir. But didn't they have an entire prison ship once. Come to think of it, don't they have en entire prison world. Now that I think of it, didn't they imprison Spock on Organia?"
Kirk, "You fail the test! And your hair.. isn't.. regulation.."
Spock, "Trainees, to the briefing room."

And of course in the next movie, Saavik is taken prisoner by...wait for it...Klingons.
Worf is full of Klingon crap.
"In Purgatory's Shadow", Worf gave a different explanation.
This is the dialogue from the scene where Worf and Garak bumped into Martok at that Jem'Hadar internment camp.
Garak: Aren't you Klingons suppose to kill yourselves when you're taken prisoner?
Worf: Not when there are still enemies to fight.
Martok: Or hope of escape.
What are we suppose to believe from what comes out of Worf's mouth?
David cgc, beat me to it. I was probably searching for the dialogue in the chakoteya transcript website when he posted his post.

Almost. Literally. ROTFL!
But in all seriousness...
WORF: No! She is from a world now alien to me!
Sounds like a conversation from the lunch room at your average Star Trek convention.
I assumed she's on the ship to activate Ash's sleeper genes or something.
Birthright pt 2
P'takh human excuses. A warrior fights to the death!
KIRK: I said no tricks after we reach the ship. You're a prisoner of the Federation of Planets, against which you may or may not have committed an act of war.
KANG: Well played, Kirk. Now I and my crew must kill ourselves!
KANG: Well played, Kirk. Now I and my crew must kill ourselves!
KOLOS: You condemn this man to Rura Penthe. What is the life expectancy of a prisoner there? Six months, a year at the most? And you expect us to believe that this is an act of mercy.
MAGISTRATE: This court has shown you a great deal of patience, Advocate. Don't test my limits any further. The life expectancy is none. All prisoners must kill themselves. You know well that this is why we have a prison planet in the first place.

It probably is the first time I've ever seen a Klingon just voluntarily surrender/defect to the enemy without even putting up a fight about it
TOS "The Day of the Dove"
CHEKOV: Captain, you can't. Don't let these animals have the ship.
MCCOY: Move aside. (he tends to Chekov)
KANG: Animals? Your captain crawls like one. A Klingon would never have surrendered. Order everybody in this area to be transported up. All weapons on him.
I'm sure there's some grand scheme like she cares more about getting revenge against other Klingon houses.

And of course in the next scene Kang and his crew are taken prisoner.
