I don't actually see anything wrong with these scenarios...both strike me as fairly reasonable times to fire into melee. Shooting off sappers crawling onto your tank (or wraithlord) is quite reasonable, as is firing into a combat that you know is over and has only dragged on due to a quirk of the dice.
One big argument I see in favor of allowing shooting into melee is it helps break the paradigm of "hoping to not win combat the first round so I am safe from shooting" artifact of the IGOUGO system.

I have thought of this scenario as well, but to be honest, the only way I can see it being implemented is if you make it too risky to actually put into practice.
Having said that, Tau should totally be able to fire into assault since it would be for "the Greater Good". At least in a fluff sense.
Then again when that Twinlinked railgun kills your commander... greater good comes into question...

Hello Guardsmen, look at your Leman, now back to mine, now back to your Leman, now back to mine. Sadly, your Leman isn't mine, but if they stopped using standard engines and switched to Lucifer Pattern, they could move like they're mine. Look down, back up. Where are you? Your in a battlefield with the Rhino your Leman could move like. Whats in your hand, back at me, I have it, it's the fire control for the Twin-linked Assault Cannons aimed at you. Look again, it's a Deep-Striked Land-Raider. Anything is possible when your Tanks move like Blood Angels, and not like Guardsmen. I'm on a Baneblade.

the Greater good never comes into question (there are fail safes 4 the commander)

I just meant with the failsafe the suit is giving his life so that his comrades can get away, but when friendly fire turns an ethereal into a fine red mist that isn't necessarily for the greater good(gaining preferred enemy not withstanding)

the only side I can see firing into an assault would be any Chaos side allied to Khorne. The more death, the better, and who cares if it's friendly or not?
But I can't see any way to streamline rules for firing into an assault that wouldn't take ages to resolve, be needlessly complex, and result in (even more) dumb arguments with power gamers.
