I booked directly on the Hilton website but clicked through the German Qipu cashback website to get there. I think it's probably OK to do so without risking not getting the points, because it's not like booking through expedia or eBookers which really are third party websites. Any experience to the contrary?

Well it was a link that led to the sale page of Hilton.com which currently offers 30% off prepaid bookings. So as it's part of the main Hilton thing it should be ok. I've never done Hilton before and had to sign up for HHonors. Someone over at VFT assured me that sale stays qualified for double dip points and miles.

By the way, if you have no status yet and if your stay(s) are planned before aug.31st, you may register here for an instant gold status (extended if 4 stays before aug.31st).

Thanks for this! But are you sure I'm entitled to it, so to speak? Because it seems to be a promotion for Accenture employees and mentions making bookings with their corporate rate.

You're absolutely right. Actually I took this link from loyaltylobby (thanks to John btw), but haven't used it. So can't tell you if you should give it a try or not. Since there is not much to loose, I probably would if I hadn't already a status.

Yes, on the other hand I would like to profit from the promotion offering 3,500 M&M miles following two stays before end August, so I don't want anything to go wrong with my new HHonors account! But something tells me it won't be a major issue if I participate in the instant gold promotion.
