...But does W)BRHM (WDNW (MD LPNY YHWH actually mean that Abraham was ordering God around, rather than making supplication? Or were the scribes being hypersensitive?
I think there is a difference between God being willing to listen to supplication, (which is what Abraham appears to be doing) and God being ordered around (which appears to be the misunderstanding that the tiqqune sopherim tried to correct).
