I think it's because he had specific protocols to follow in case of an emergency. The Flood was more then an emergency, so I think he had to do what he did.
That, or, he was going rampant. Then, was so smart that he overcame rampancy. The first seems more likely, however.
Mendicant isn't rampant by the time of Halo 3.
He was rampant when he was helping Gravemind, and it's already been hinted in the book that the Gravemind is the soon-to-be-infected Precursor.
Mendicant realized what he did was "wrong", in a sense, and wanted to make up for it.
What I don't get is why he's making up for it by helping his former enemies.
