Following works:

,----[ section within org-agenda-custom-commands ]
| ("b" "borrowed stuff" tags "+borrowed" (
|  (org-agenda-overriding-header "stuff that I borrowed")
|  (org-agenda-skip-function 'tag-without-done-or-canceled)
|  ))
`----

,----[ you function ]
| (defun tag-without-done-or-canceled ()
|   "Show items with tag \"borrowed\" that are neither in \"DONE\" or \"CANCELED \" state."
|   (let ((state (org-entry-get (point) "TODO")))
|     (if (and (member "borrowed" (org-get-tags-at (point)))
|              (not (string= state "DONE"))
|              (not (string= state "CANCELED")))
|         nil ; do not skip
|       (line-end-position)))) ; skip
`----

Thanks very much! Very handy to me!

One little thing: there are not items listed that inherit the
«borrowed» tag from any higher level heading.  But I guess this is
something that could not be done easily in this case. Right?
