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.

I'm not arguing about the implications the old law would have on this situation, but the current law one. Firstly, the fact that he dragged him to a less dangerous situation means nothing, the very fact he's still in a dangerous situation is the problem. The borg nevertheless put him into a dangerous situation, which, (a borg may not cause a human to come to harm) caused the human to come to harm through there not being air to breathe. Had he not removed the human from space (inaction, which was removed, but is still shitty to do) he would have been completely within the laws in my eyes.
