Have you read Caspar Hare's "Should we wish well to all?" - http://web.mit.edu/~casparh/www/Papers/CJHareWishingWell.pdf - I think it's the original source for both the Suitcases trolley cases and the medicine case you discuss here! Really great paper.
There's a slight typo in the article - in the numbered list just before the "people in suitcases" section, item 1 should have the word "shouldn't" instead of "should".

Also, I'm thinking of citing your paradox of deontology for a paper. Is it forthcoming in some journal, or unpublished?
As yet unpublished (currently under review).
I have not--I'll check it out.
