I do think what you're describing is a dumb and shitty thing to do, to basically take a prompt and do the opposite, but I don't think that's what skirting a DNW means.

To me, it's more like if someone had a "focus on unrequested pairings" DNW, and the author sprinkled in something like 4-5 different one-liners about unrequested background pairings. It's not technically a focus, but for someone who's not about unrequested pairings, having them randomly in the background with that frequency skirts close enough to the DNW that the author should know it's something that their recip wouldn't like.
