Maybe he doesn't protest because this is all mixed up in Ray's childhood/family issues, and it's some sort of deal-with-your-personal-demons-one-on-one thing?
And because it's the only way they can think of to protect the shoemaker? In GftS, no one else is really at risk -- it's much more a matter of principle -- but in The Deal, someone's life is on the line, and Zuko has proven himself capable of outmanoeuvring Fraser & co. I think Fraser is capable of being pragmatic, especially in service to someone else.
With Band of Brothers, I felt like the confusion (confusingness?) was almost part of the point, especially in the first few episodes, but then I am useless at distinguishing people in uniform at the best of times, so that might just be me. Mostly I was all ♥ Winters ♥ Nixon ♥ and accepting of the more general confusion of not being able to identify any of the others. (The boy did point out some characters, which helped.)
