General question.

What instances should you be able to logon interactively to a domain
controller while its network cable is unplugged using a domain account
?

The DC is one of 50 in the domain with no FSMO roles. The question has
been brought up as to why you can logon to the console with a domain
account but the DC is not connected to the network so it can't see any
FSMO roles etc. It is a global catalog.

Why should you be able to logon to a DC with a domain account while its
not connected to the network ?

Why shouldn't you be able to ?

Whats the criteria ?
