Where I live you are meant to indicate in such scenarios and then the lane assist will not complain.
If it is a time-sensitive obstacle, I am not going to think about signalling before manouvering. As for construction zones no one signals when they cross lines here when there is an obvious right of way. If I saw someone else signal halfway through a construction zone I'd wonder if they were turning off...
You are right that it can sometimes solve the issue, especially with cyclists and the like, but I still find the feature obnoxious.
Often times it's safer to not signal
