Imagine if IDW had printed a Star Trek comic where the Fourth Doctor showed up and helped them for one scene.

So a quick response to this -- I don't think you could really call their role in this film a cameo. What you're asking is an important question, but the word cameo suggests that they're in one scene with no context. They are in a huge chunk of the movie.
But yes, I think a licensed cameo meant in the same vein as a crossover is absolutely a valid source for a story.
Imagine if IDW had printed a Star Trek comic where the Fourth Doctor showed up and helped them for one scene. They got permission, they gave proper documentation, and it was meant as a legit crossover. Can you really say the story is invalid just because it's technically a cameo?
