Thats the crux - can we have a policy that imposes consequences on an editor for fulfilling a legal obligation and actions associated with that obligation?
Related to NLT - if someone doesn't make a legal threat, but actually *sues* an editor and does so via a subpoena to the WMF, is there any policy treating that situation?

In principle, I disagree. You might have a legal obligation to spy on your neighbor, but it would not be illegal for WMF / enwiki to ban all people who do so from participating. It's our community, we can choose to categorically exclude everyone that does X, even if X is a legal obligation for some portion of the population of potential contributors.
That said, I don't think it would be reasonable course to take such sweeping actions given the current arguments.
