I was given the novelisation of Tron as a present a couple of years ago. Like most film novelisations, it won't be winning any literature prizes, but like quite a few of them it has some interesting insights into what was actually going on which couldn't conveniently be expressed through the medium of film. (It is of course possible that those insights were made up by the novelising author, but since the novelisation also includes some deleted scenes which I recently discovered really were filmed, I'm inclined to assume for the moment that it does bear some relation to the original author's intent.)
According to that, Flynn does deliberately steal the guard's "uniform", and IIRC he's unpleasantly surprised when the guard de-rezzes as a result. When he changes back later, on the solar sailer, that's deliberate as well.
The thing that always amuses me about Tron is that its central message is so anti-corporate. Not what you'd expect from a Disney offering!
