Remember too that the Corsairs are allies of the Hogosha and the Hogosha have a LOT of influence in the Kusari government. The Hogosha own a lot of government officials whether through bribes or blackmail.
It's the same reason that artifacts are not illegal in Kusari, thanks to the Hogosha influence over the officials. All Hogosha can legally transport artifacts in Kusari.
The KNF will work with the Corsairs in the specific situations mentioned in the info card because of who the Outcasts and their allies are. The allies of the Outcasts in Kusari are the worst enemies the Kusari government has - the GC and the Blood Dragons. So you're darn right that the KNF will take an enemy of my enemy is my friend view of the Corsairs in those situations especially when the Hogosha are behind the scenes pulling strings for their allies, the Corsairs.
Zukeenee: Hogosha are not pirates, they aren't even criminals in Kusari. And the KNF does not openly work with the Corsairs, the Hogosha do. All the KNF do openly is turn a blind eye.

This is weird because while I had a BAF bomber character (indie) I was ordered by QCO officer not to attack an Outcast destroyer orbiting planet New London.
Don't ask me for details, as I can't really remember who was involved, I just remember it as a weird occasion.
I also remember BAF and Outcasts exchanging tech (QCP having Infernos, cute).
All done secretly, but still.. Why wouldn't KNF, trough Hogosha, cooperate with Corsair elders?
Sure, regular Corsair criminals should be shot in Kusari, but general cooperation can still exist.
It existed between Outcasts and BAF trough whole 4.84, we all know that.

Outcasts are allied with Blood Dragons, both hostile to Corsairs and Kusari.
Corsairs are hostile to Bretonia.
Bretonia are hostile to Kusari.
From the phrase "The enemy of my enemy is my friend", you get a Non-Agression Pact.
Of course, as someone else said, the Pirate / Lawful relations are still there, which means neither would dock repair and supply at each other's bases.

The same applies for Liberty and Xenos against Rheinland. In addition to Rheinland and Rheinland Unlawfuls against Liberty.
o With the Corsairs against the Outcasts and their allies
KNF can't ally with Corsairs unless they're working together to kill an Outcast, a GC, etc. And after they win (presumably) the KNF would ask the Corsair to leave, not invite him to dock and repair.
Well, Heres the thing, an Outcast attacking KNF could be seen as assisting Bretonia.
Just the same a Corsair attacking BAF could be seen as aiding Bretonia.
InRP, noone would know for sure. Gives each the right to ally against the opposite house as well.
The not docking to repair or resupply thing i already mentioned
