Because he knows that this kind of thing is *going* to be relentless for Jack, so rather than give him empty platitudes of comfort, he just helps Jack accept it by accepting it himself. And with positive reinforcement! i.e. "You died horribly, and will continue to die horribly forever, even after I'm dead. SO LET'S HAVE LOTS 30 MINUTES OF SEX RIGHT NOW!" -- See also, yeah, TKKS in which Jack is pretty awful/monstrous and Ianto propositions him over a corpse (that probably represents his future demise, too).
That is the scene where I feel in love with Ianto.
But I wouldn't say that Ianto is just swayed to the moral ground of whoever he presently loves. I think he just has his own shady moral code that he very fiercely sticks to--he's loyal to Jack, but disobeys him frequently when he doesn't agree with Jack's orders.
I completely agree with you here...said the same thing to someone...Ianto has this fairly fucked up concept of what's right and sticks with it...one of the most interesting things about him.
