I would argue that in Rise of the Cybermen, there are scenes set in the original universe too, such as the scene with Jackie in The Age of Steel. Furthermore, in both of the aforementioned stories, the characters originate from the DWU. That is enough to make them valid stories. A story being set in another universe but with DWU characters in it definitely does not exclude them from being a valid source. If that's the case, we'd have to nitpick things like The Doctor's Wife, which is set in a pocket universe... it's attached to our universe (hurray!) yet it's officially not our universe (boo!).
