Don't you give way to gliders, balloons and traffic on your right?
Not really

But seriously I do wonder what those "won't be complying with the rules of the air" notams really mean.

If there is a baloon, is the plane in question going to just ignore it and fly straight through it?

That's one extreme.

The other extreme of "rules of the air" is the stuff about flying to the right of a line feature. Which line feature do you pick? If there is a coast, nearly everybody flies just inshore of it - because they are expecting an engine failure but that way they still get a nice view.

I don't see the point of such notams.
