Along with the other comments that have been made, I will pose a 
question: Do we know that Lucius attended Hogwarts?  Perhaps he went 
to Durmstrang, which is how he knows Karkaroff.  British tend to have 
an affinity to sending their kids to their alma maters (Cf. Uncle 
Vernon sending Dudley to Smeltings).  Perhaps that is how he knows 
him, knows of his similar disposition towards all-things-Muggle, yet 
does not know that he was a Death Eater.

I am being lazy here, since I dont remember if we have canon proof 
for Lucius attending Hogwarts or not.
