Of course, this could just be my paranoia acting up....

Huh, actually I think what negates that is the fact that Teledji was in a mighty hurry to remove any potential interferences. That glare he gets is pretty telling. Our pal would've called Teledji's BS in an instant.

Also, it's not only Aymeric that's being abnormally friendly, but the entire Fortemps leadership is as well. Haurchefant tells us that they catch flak for it often. Count Edmont shares the same sentiments about wanting goodly adventurers to help Ishgard... So that would make the entire Household against us with your theory >.>
