Koizumi is bound by the fact that any problem he doesn't prevent from occurring has to be dealt with twice: once directly and once in damage control in the closed spaces that were created.

Except all three groups seem to believe that, and there's considerable evidence to back up the thought. Keep in mind that all three were worried about what was happening when Haruhi realized things weren't going her way. If the Data-whatever wasn't worried about what she was doing, Nagato wouldn't have been able to go along with Koizumi's suggestion of cheating their way to victory.

While we don't get as much from the time travelers, the fact that Mikuru was notified at the same time as the other two proves that she was also warned of what Haruhi was doing.
