Eh, I think that's taking his magic as something too literal with rules they have not defined in the show. Not all the magic he does follows the work of grim or neutral Toon logic, it's merely the presentation.
Getting him to get involved in a non chaotic matter is a task unto itself, but once you get him invested, his magic isn't going to fail unless he wants it to be faulty. And, since he's become tethered to fluttershy by becoming her "dirty old man but wants to keep her respect" (reminds me of Happosai around Kasumi Tendo in Ranma 1/2, except Discord doesn't perv on the other girls)...he basically can be motivated by her feelings really easily.
Thus, most problems can be solved by Discord so long ads Fluttershy is for the cause, the only thing he'd stick to is "the Trrickster give and take."
If the matter isn't urgent, like any good Trickster, he'll want to see the person he is helping or the person asking to struggle with or face some aspect of his/herself. That's why Twilight's his biggest target on his down time since she's so full of contradictions she never faces even after 8 seasons.
