Well I see where your coming from. Crouch was nothing if not an Able 
wizard and Loyal, very loyal to his master LV. 
Not, however, infallible. 

"As ability is not infallibility."

Crouch is also Vain, vain, vain and that, fluctuation at r, is his 
weakness making him fallible in his loyalty to LV. He would not 
conciously, deliberately jeopardised his masters plan. However, I am 
sure that such a strong challenge to his vanity as an amateur wizard 
he could not control with an Imperius curse, would persuade him to 
focus only on a positive aspect to continuing the lesson. ie of 
course that it would help Harry win the TriWizard tournament. I am 
not saying that this is why he did it. I am quite sure it passed, 
though, as a reasonable excuse, via his vanity, to continue in 
disregard of other consequence. 
Upon failing, he had to put on a brave act that this was a wonderful 
development in Harry's progress. Though, inside he was cursing 
dramatically. Outside he was performing the role of 'Alastor Moody. 
Auror and DADA teacher at Hogwarts'. It may, or may not, have 
occurred to him at some consecutive interval that he had done the 
wrong thing. If it had, I am sure he was able to console himself with 
his faith in Voldies omnipotence.
