Emissary (2) - S1-E2
Revealing mistake: During the chaos on the Promenade as the Cardassians attack, a man can be seen landing on a steel girder that bends like rubber or foam when he makes contact.

A Man Alone - S1-E4
Other mistake: Aron Eisenberg's name is misspelled on-screen as Aron Eisenerg. (00:04:25)
A Man Alone - S1-E4
Other mistake: The word "Shifter" is written in English on Odo's office wall. Obviously, this is done for the benefit of the audience, but on a Bajoran space station near their home planet the word should have been written in their native language.

Visible crew/equipment: As Chief O'Brien closes the floor panel in the runabout, a mic pole and chord are visible on the left side of the screen behind Sisko. (00:10:35)
Revealing mistake: In episode 'The Passenger', when the Koblian officer opens Vantika's eyes to run a retinal scan, his pupils dilate, despite the fact that he is dead.
Deliberate mistake: The dying Vantika hides his consciousness away in a portion of Dr. Bashir's mind. At one point, "Bashir" (heavily cloaked in clothing and shadows) comes up behind Quark and makes sure his demands are clear. At this point, it should still be unclear just how Vantika is still "alive", and whose body he is using. However, when he shoves Quark away, for a fraction of a second, Bashir's face can be seen under his hood. They were true to plot in using the right actor (though he shouldn't have been seen), it is possible some might have spied the secret earlier than the show meant to reveal it.
Character mistake: In the scene where Lwaxana Troi follows Odo into the Turbo lift and it breaks down, Odo reports to Ops that they are in Turbo lift 7. Later scenes in Ops refer to their location as Turbo lift 4.

Continuity mistake: At the end of the episode, Odo has sent everyone affected by the telepathic matrix to a cargo bay. Sisko and O'Brien remove their com badges, throwing them aside before heading to the bay. After everyone is cured, Sisko straightens back up and, in the closeup, you can see that he has a badge on. In the next closeup, it's gone again.

Continuity mistake: When Kira is explaining to Jadzia in Quark's that she wants to get rid of Sisko, she is wearing her Bajoran earring in her right ear. When she picks Quark up by his collar a couple of shots later, the earring is gone.
Chosen answer: No. He's given his name, that's all. Nothing there that might lead to a paradox. If he's gone into detail about his time travelling, that might cause an issue or two, but simply stating his name does nothing.
