Good points, and I feel a plot-bunny coming on!
For example, if the house-elves are truly slaves, as Dobby seems to confirm, then no matter how badly they're mistreated, they still can't leave, what happens if they have a master who kills them? Would the master even be tried under the current system? No mention is made of any sort of house-elf rights whatsoever.
Maybe I can write a fic regarding this subject. Thanks for the idea!
