Have there been any cases where Bitcoin private keys have been requested?
I don't know of any, and it's not the case here.
(If law enforcement had a legal claim to the balances controlled by the keys, they'd craft their order or enforcement action to achieve that end. I think the sweep of funds to a new address, after the Ross Ulbrecht arrest, suggests they understand the key-control issues involved.)
