Note that the question tries to avoid the time inconsistency angle. You’d yield to one unit of X right now, given the chance, and you’d precommit against yielding to one unit of X right now, given the chance. Do any of your examples work like that?
I think some people would precommit to never telling lies, if they had the chance, but at the same time, they would lie in the typical Nazi at the door situation, given that they in fact cannot precommit. This has nothing to do with time inconsistency, because after you have lied in such a situation, you don’t find yourself wishing you had told the truth.

Sometimes they do, yes. Not always though. There are times when I would like not to do something but some other subsystem is in control.
