I think that most of these questions are pretty straightforward, but it is good to have them answered. I've rarely seen a borg that will refuse to allow you into an area with a plasma fire if you ask, but it is understandable that they shouldn't as it violates the first law sort of.
I've sometimes been curious as to when the AI should listen to people suspected of crimes and the station chain of command in general. I remember one time I convinced a cyborg to release me from prison through some sort of reason. I think that the cyborg releasing me violated the 3^rd law, but I wasn't going to say that as a traitor. I was brigged for some petty crime, but a borg should have made me stay in there because it could be inferred that a higher ranking person put me there.
I think that knowing what can be asked of borgs and what they are expected to do is very important because those situations are very specific. But I guess that is what makes them hard to define.
