I would agree that PREMIS views resources from a very different perspective — it really concerns itself only with the digital preservation aspects of your content.  The only overlap is in things like premis:IntellectualEntity and premis:Representation, which are probably the things you would describe with BIBFRAME.

LRM is too new for any system to be called LRM compliant.  Work is underway to bring both RDA and BIBFRAME in line with LRM.  The new version of RDA is available as a beta release, but is still incomplete.  Exactly how closely RDA and BIBFRAME will comply with LRM is to be seen.
