Actually, Quirrell only tells them about the Curse.

Just because Lockhart wasn't talented enough to perform the spell
correctly doesn't mean it's not a spell.  It may just have been the
wrong spell.

And, according to Lockhart, it's forever which makes me believe this
might not be a real spell or Dumbledore would've used it to 'cure'
Lupin.

We don't know that Quirrell ever taught before SS/PS.

You can't hide much from Dumbledore.  He would've known if faux Moody
wasn't following the lesson plan agreed upon.  Thus Dumbledore told
Moody to teach the Unforgivable Curses which is why Crouch Jr taught
students how to fight the Imperius Curse.

A more ponder-ful (<--kudos for that) question is *why* did Dumbledore
want the Gryffindor 4th years taught the UC?
