I agree that Petronella should not be used unless future in-universe evidence comes to light showing she was telling the truth. With BF's UNIT series, that may stand a chance of happening, but until then, no.

His first name was also given (in a novelisation) as Harry, but his page is not called Harry Osgood, whereas Tom Osgood's is because the name Tom was given in a book. Is there some policy making novelisations of lesser importance than original books? (Still on-topic for Osgood, hopefully.)

The opposite, actually. According to T:IU:

4.All narratives, regardless of medium, have equal weight. Whether it's a comic strip, audio, novel or television story, it's all equally valid here.

I'm not sure how that would work with contradicting stories, but a look at the page in question doesn't list any other stories stating his first name was something different (and a couple days after your post, someone moved the page to Harry Osgood anyway).
