I'm not sure about the Discworld example. The trope description is pretty clearly "Alice says 'Bob had better not do X' and Bob says 'Great idea, I'll do X now'", and this isn't that.

Also "There are not 2,300,009 invisible bloodsucking ghosts" isn't actually a warning anyway, it's saying there's nothing to be warned about. But the soldiers do, as Rincewind intended, take it as a warning, so if it has anything to do with the trope, it's an ... invoked inversion? But I think it just isn't really related at all.
