Maybe Ikuko thought she was doing Tohya a favor by trying to get him to 'become Battler again'? I don't doubt that if Yasu is Ikuko, she's acting for her own gain, but perhaps she thought it was best if Battler regain his memories. It could have been an honest intention at first; I don't think she could have known what it would do to him.
...Well, then again, she should have stopped after his recollections drove him to attempt suicide.
