On the count of the door to the shivering isles, you are told when you first enter it that it is allowed because of its purpose. Sheogorath specifically built it as an entrance into oblivion, not an exit for deadra so it was allowed to bypass the divine pact.

Plus there are always loop holes, I will quote from The Infernal City

""The Psijic waved his hands." Those boats out there-- to sail and not founder-- the sails and the ropes that hoist them, contrl them-- tension must be just so, they must adjust as the winds change, if a storm comes they may even have o be taken down..." He shook his head." No,no-- I feel the ropes of the world, and they have become too tight. They pull in the wrong directions. And that is never good. that is what happened in the days before the Dragonfires first burned--"

"Are you talking about Oblivion? I thought we can't be invaded by Oblivion anymore. I thought Emperor Martin--"

"Yes,yes. But nothing is so simple. There are always loop-holes, you see."

"Even if there aren't loops?"

This is a conversation of the arrival of Umbriel, a city from the realm of Clavicus Vile invading mundus during the 4th era. The Inferal City, and the Lord of Souls by Greg Keyes,and are considered canon by Bethesda and are great reads.

And to confirm that Mankar Camoran did wear the Amulet of Kings. Mankar Camoran did claim to know CHIM, however I don't beleive he did, if that was true that may be how he manipulated the Amulet of Kings.
