"if God cannot violate logic, then how come ordinary human beings can?" You seem to miss a key difference. The question asks whether God can produce a state of affair that would be illogical in itself. Human beings cannot violate logic in this sense. All they can do is produce illogical statements. No human being can do and not do the same thing at the same time. Your mathematical examples are all examples of illogical statements.

"This suggests (...) that logic is a poor guide to the attributes of God." Yes, it is a bad idea to use logic to promote illogical concepts such as omnipotence.
