This probably because Microsoft added a trigger on the word law. They don’t want to give out legal advice or be implied to have given legal advice. So it has trigger words to prevent certain questions.
Sure it’s easy to get around these restrictions, but that implies intent on the part of the user. In a court of law this is plenty to deny any legal culpability.
Think of it like putting a little fence with a gate around your front garden. The fence isn’t high and the gate isn’t locked, because people that need to be there (like postal services) need to get by, but it’s enough to mark a boundary. When someone isn’t supposed to be in your front yard and still proceeds past the fence, that’s trespassing.
Also those laws of robotics are fun in stories, but make no sense in the real world if you even think about them for 1 minute.

So the weird part is it does reliably trigger a failure if you ask directly, but not if you ask as a follow-up.
I first asked
And then I followed up with
It didn’t trigger-fail on that.
