I suppose it depends on what lore you're using.
If you're using Wishmaster rules, it would be most efficient to just do what they want with no ironic twists and then get your freedom to reign terror unexpectedly after the 3rd wish.
If we're using Disney Alladin rules then the master must explicitly wish for the Genie's freedom or else it's trapped in the lamp forever. In this case it makes some sense to twist things as it would be the only kind of control you could exert.
In Quranic mythology, I think the jinn are mostly independent magical creatures that are purely neutral. In these cases, there are no real stakes for freedom at play, so every request would be played by ear.
