I am not sure what causes this, but I see a lot of variation in the DGM Estimate for workers who have been mining since the beginning of this round. They all have similar shares, PPS, and hash rate, but 0.031 to 0.088 for the DGM Estimate. Can anyone explain why this is?

I'm no expert, but here's a shot:
The DGM will incorporate previous round work as well. So the two Id's with lower DGM estimates must be new here; I recall someone posting saying they were pointing their 200 GH/s here, so that's likely one of the users.
Keep in mind power outages will make people lose some shares for certain rounds.
The thing I can never keep straight is the number of shares... if I set my worker difficulty to 256 and someone else sets theirs to 16, do I display a lower share count? I don't think so and I think it evens out, but as I said, I have no idea the details behind this.
All I'm confident is that MMPool pays out very fair and consistent amounts (disregarding the inherent luck involved with DGM, but that's a decision I'm cool with) and is an overall awesome pool.
