Believe me, this type of conflict is frequently explored in Asimov’s robot stories. A good example is ‘Little Lost Robot’ in which a robot is told by a human to ‘get lost’ and obeys that order to the exclusion of any subsequent order to reveal itself (it gets ‘lost’ by hiding in a group of apparently identical but functionally different robots).

However, none of the robots in those stories or in your example are technically breaking the second law. They are all obeying the orders given to them by a human being. The second law does not require that they obey ‘all’ such orders. By the way, any human could switch your robots obedience by invoking the third law (by putting the robot in danger and ordering it to rescue itself, so that the third law would compel it to switch to obeying the new order rather than obeying your standing ‘disobey that order’ that would now serve to endanger the robot’s existence).
