@Timoram Good job on doing this extensive testing! Just one side note. You don't have to be enrolled in a career to reproduce the astronaut outfit + random DLC shoes issue. When I play a new Sim, the first thing I tend to do is, to acquire the Nerd Brain Aspiration which requires my Sim to upgrade or ride on a rocket at a certain point. By doing the latter, the Sim often returns home with a random DLC shoe attached to his astronaut outfit. Earlier (like back in the 2014's) it wasn't much of an issue since there were very few DLCs to pick from, but with the number of DLCs we have today, you can almost be certain that some of them gets picked by the game. So, simply riding on a rocket may be the easiest way to do some testing.

The random hidden clothing happens with mannequins too.
I discovered that mannequins, when you go live mode and dress them, load random haistyles even if they don't have hair. I built a showroom with limited packs, I wanted to upload the build with the mannequins all dressed up so had to do it from live mode. I was extracareful not to dress them with packs I didn't use in the build AND to use sims solely dressed with base game but suddenly the build was showing packs I didn't put into it. The gallery showed me hairstyles. It was the mannequins and I had no way to change their hairs so I just uploaded and warned in the description of this bug.

@Japanic2012 Thanks! I have edited my long post to make note of your observations.
@SqueamishNerd I think Jules Rico (pre-made Sim in Port Promise from Eco Lifestyle's) also has the same issue here. His facial hair is apparently from the Parenthood game pack, and if you attempt to export his household to his gallery, Parenthood will be (logically) flagged even with no change to Sims in Jules' household. It can thus be counter-intuitive why Parenthood gets flagged since pre-made Sims in previous packs usually include exclusively CAS items from the pack they are included in. (Except the ones you mentioned which have Digital Deluxe items thrown in…)

This has also happens to me, arounf 70-80% of the time, it's incredibly frustrating. I'm building with only basegame, but the gallery doesn't seem to acknowledge that... I'm running the latest version of sims (1.72.28.1030) on PC, and I have all packs, stuff packs and game packs (but used none of these items). By and by, when in build and buy mode, the 'basegame only' filter will constantly turn itself off, but I've gotten into the habit of checking it before I place absolutely anything now, and it still registers packs where there are none. I'm extremely careful when checking through the house before uploading it to the gallery. Hope they fix this soon, it's really ruining my project to reinvent a basegame world.

Fixed an issue in which in the Gallery Preview pop ups, Build Mode objects will now appear properly under the “Show Used Items” panel. Accuracy is the best policy… in this case.
Another partial fix for this
Good Luck

I'm elated to see that they manage to mostly fix and test that one this quickly! One annoying sub-bug out of the way
It's still a partial fix, though. After testing, the following Build object types still don't show up in the Gallery Preview pop ups (both under the "Show Used Items" and under the general list):
Additionally, that terrain paints are also in the Gallery Preview pop ups, you can add them to the list of items affected by the last bug I've tested:
Minor, unrelated bug: platform trims are shown in the Gallery Preview pop ups with square blank icons with a red cross. Perhaps thumbnail images for platform trims are needed here?
(To the devs and QA people out there: you're almost there with this one, don't give up!)
EDIT: I'd like also to amend one sub-bug I've preciously reported on page 6:
This is all I could test so far, and it appears to be mostly food related. I'd also like take back what I've written about plants, we haven't been able to double-check them again and thus can't confirm if they flag their DLC of origin :-(
It's not much, but I hope that this breadcrumbs will help in investigating the root cause(s) of this sub-bug!

As requested, here are links to each of these bugs. After some more testing, I took the liberty of splitting the last ("Unlockable/craftable") in two separate bugs since they were quite different in how to reproduce them.
The platform trim-related bug also has its own thread now:
Phew, that was a lot of writing!
