how much sound escapes an open (or semi open in the case of the AKG's)? Should bothering my co-workers be a concern?
It depends on how quiet it is on your office, The semi open design will alow more to escape than a fully closed design BUT the AKG's will let less out than a cheap pair of headphones and will sound much better at lower volumes.
