This struck me as extremely OOC at first.  Further down, the joke
when they league together _almost_ justifies the OOC-ness here, but
not quite.  I think it would have worked better if, instead of crying,
the three were just very polite to each other.  This is reasonably
IC, but Ranma, being unobservant, is not necessarily aware of that.

I strongly disagree.  An immediate extreme emotional swing is very much
in character for Ukyo and Shampoo--less so for Akane (at least, not in
this direction) but still possible.  And this is one of the few times in
ANY fanfic when I felt that Takahashi could have actually written the
scene I just read.

Being very polite to each other wouldn't work at all.
 

The "Ranma doesn't want to undress in front of the girls" element doesn't
quite work for me, either, at least stressed this much.  Kasumi
saw girl-Ranma's entire body during the cat-tongue episode.

I agree here, somewhat.
