Either way, funny or not, things like Borat must be making life at least a bit more difficult for legitimate documentarians.

I suppose, but I guess one could also say that of Christopher Guest movies, too. I don't see those fakeumentaries like 'Spinal Tap' ruining anything.
I get what you're saying, though.

Does Christopher Guest use unstaged scenes with unwitting participants? Then get them to sign model agreements by making them think they were part of a valid documentary? It's been so long since I saw Spinal Tap but is there anybody in that movie that didn't know they were in a movie?

If so, then yes I would include him in that statement as well.
