I've said this before and got grief for it, but IMO the problem wasn't the betrayal itself but how they did it. They'd had plenty of reasons to distrust Zero lately. He'd been acting awfully suspicious, running off for long periods of time and hiring new recruits without telling anyone about it. And he'd just shown a massive disregard for everyones safety after they'd nearly all been blown up. Plus Todou just learned that he'd apparantly killed his former boss and lied to him about it in order to get him to work for himself.
And everything had been set perfectly to make it look like Lelouch was using him to remove competition for the Britannian throne. He wasn't, but it sure would look like it was if you read between the seeming lines.
But instead it looks like Ougi just wants to kill him so he can get with Viletta, and all the Black Kinghts just agree with him. Well Chiba never liked Zero, and Todou was likely pissed that Zero had gotten most of his men killed, but everyone else just kind of rolled with it.
