The conventional advice to avoid mixed metaphor was surely framed with examples like 2 in view and on the semantic descent account the reason for this is clear to mix metaphors in this way is to make what you write uninterpretable or near enough. With examples like 4 the aptness of the advice is less clear cut.

When this happens one might find that the mixed metaphor works perfectly well. Moreover while this possibility helps us understand the success or failure of mixed metaphors it has a much wider application. For it can happen that two different words or phrases might lead by semantic descent not to two different objects as in mixed metaphor but to the same one. This possibility can give us insight into the ways metaphors become extended over larger stretches of discourse than individual sentences.
