I'm pretty sure Uriel isn't allowed to arbitrarily "impose" any restrictions, nor arbitrarily "waive" them.
I'm hypothesizing some sort of "dual loophole" thing, where spirit-Karrin is eligible to interact with the mortal world (by Uriel's rules) but she's also eligible to get a corporeal body (by Odin's rules); those specific conditions weren't ever "intended" to interface together (but also never had a specific exclusion) and Karrin finds a way to make it work.

The last book before the BAT will be the time travel book, to "plug any continuity holes".

Is there a list of continuity errors posted anywhere?

Garble gook! That's the problem with trying to bring Murphy back, there are enough loose ends that need to be tied up before the BAT! It is the same problem that Jim has had with her character since he fired her off the police force! All this takes up pages and pages not really moving the story along.. Oh Murphy is back as a supernatural something or other, when befoew she was a mortal before doing superhuman things. Let Harry move on and the story move on, his heart can always ache for her, but move on with maybe her showing up on the final page of the last book of the BAT!
Conspiracy Theorist:
Odin traded in his immortality to stay in the mortal world that means he dealt with the White God with Uriel as his handler. In return he got Soulfire, the gift of the White God and the necessary element for a genuine resurrection. Uriel would know this and make it part of the agreement not to have People coming back like Lazarus (or Jesus himself) as it would detract from the New Testament, and the spread of Christianity. The compromise was living memory, at the time there were no photographs, even a famous Einenjharen could pop back up in 50 years without being recognised.
If that is the case Murphy is listed as “missing” in a mass casualty event, with people medivacced all over the US. All you need to do is find a coma victim of the right height and sex, and swap them out with Murphy. There was a case of the wrong family claiming a young woman in similar circumstances a couple of years ago. Voila Murphy “wakes” up identifies herself and resumes her own identity. No Lazarus like resurrection, merely an everyday bottom of the running order good news story.

Problem, she bled out in Harry's arms and Rudolph knew he shot her and watched her die.. No, not as simple as you might think. Which I think brings us to the problem of trying to bring Murphy back, if you have to twist the story line into a pretzel to do it, it won't be good. If she shows up as an Einherjar, fine, but only if she is no longer the Murphy that Harry knew and loved. She might not be gone from his memory, but he is gone from hers.
