"1. You may not injure a human being or cause one to come to harm."
He dragged him out of space, yes, but from what I can read, it was directly into a decompressed room. While it isn't any better than space, the very fact that he dragged him to a decompressed room and left him there caused the human harm. It has nothing to do with the old law.

Situation A: borg doesn't do shit. Human suffocates/freezes in space and dies.
Situation B: borg stops helping halfway through. Human suffocates in airless room and dies.

Outcome was not changed. Therefore, the borg allowed harm to come to a human by failing to act, but since that's not actually in the law anymore no laws were broken. In fact, since you die from cold as well as lack of air in space, the borg actually extended the human's life. The human's situation was actually improved. In the old law set, failing to improve it to the point where he would live would be against the law, but since that part of the law has been removed(mistakenly, I think), then no laws were broken. The borg didn't put a safe human into a dangerous situation. He put a dying human into a slightly less dangerous situation.
