I guess it might be actually the same with Tamas being more milder. A lot of people interpret Krishna's act of breaking his vow and picking up a weapon against Bheeshma as 1. As a matter of respect for Bheeshma (highlighting the high soul that he was) 2. To show that vows should not be set in stone and if need be have to be broken

as being kshatriyas, yudhishthir and his brothers' swadharma was to protect draupadi from the humiliation, but they fallowed the dharma of slaves, and aftee during the vanavas period yudhisthir followed the dharma of a twice born(brahmin) by chanting the "kshama dharma hain" chant.

Red - Exactly why I want Krishna to talk about swadharma today...

Under what situations can swadharma become adharma?

I'd go with the first one because the second point is just an interpretation based upon the popular belief that he took a pledge to protect the throne. Whereas this popular pledge is truly non-existent in the texts.
So even I wonder how Krishna would analyze the real Bhishma.

yes, how he called pitamah a great knower of dharma and said, "today the sun of dharma is setting".

In Shanti parva, Krishna - Bhishma interactions are full of divinity and their adoration for each other is purely reflected.
Also, I never felt that Krishna was displeased with Bhishma siding with the Kauravas. The post war interactions rubbish the slightest claim.
