Is that really the claim, though? If someone chooses to punish DigiCert for compliance with the TRO then DigiCert might have grounds to file for declarative relief from the court, as the court could very well decide to help protect DigiCert from external consequences of their demand.

Perhaps, but only in the case that the delayed revocations were scoped to those certificates covered by the TRO, and not over 1000x more from subscribers who had nothing to do with the company who filed the TRO.

Well personally, I think that'd be a terrible position for them to take. Honoring the TRO is, as far as I can tell, not the issue that is being raised.
