Any takers?

Not quite what you're looking for, but I immediately thought of "Kol hamosif
gorea." I asked an erudite neighbor where to find that, and he reminded me
of the Rashi on Bereishis 3:3 where Chava says that they're not allowed to
touch the tree -- whereas they really had only been commanded not to /eat/ the
tree. Rashi there quotes the Gemara, Sanhedrin 29a. "Hosifah al hatzivui
lefichach ba'ah liyedei geira'on."
Rashi there also quotes Mishlei 30:6. "Al tosf al devarav pen yochiach
becha venichzavta." And if you follow R' ArtScroll's suggestion and go look at
Rashi on that pasuk in Mishlei, you find this: "PEN YOCHIACH BECHA
VENICHZAVTA: Yochiach al panecha she'al yedei tosaftecha, ata ba liyedei aveirah."
That is, "By your adding to His words you come to do an aveirah."
