I should probably confess that as someone who lives in an area with a lot of construction work, I'm also very vulnerable to "prompt injection" when there's a person standing on the middle of the road holding a sign telling me to change course.

Not the same thing, one assumes you were still being a safe driver while following the instructions, but the VLM failed:

Earlier quoted context omitted.

To your first point, "the rule" is location-dependent. And to your second point, that was obviously (to me, at least) implied.

I’ve never seen a four way stop in a region that had traffic on the right can always go regardless of stop time. But I’ve only seen four way stops in a few countries.

The implication from the comment was (had to be) that you yield to the right if both cars stop at the same time.
