Well the only 'alliance' between the Humans and members of the Covenant has been between Johnson and Miranda, and the Arbiter and a group of high ranking elites. This may have only come about because of the need to deactivate Halo, and the 'message' may not have reached the rest of the Covenant (who, no doubt, have more pressing things to deal with than Humans). The Fleet occupying Earth also probably will not have learned of the Arbiter's 'understanding' with some Humans. It is also possible that news of the Covenant civil war may not have reached Earth, or if it has, then the MAC stations are presenting a bigger problem.
Remember the MC has been quite literally demonized, and many Covenant will still attack him. Remember in the level Gravemind, after the Grunts had dealt with attacking Brutes (often with your help) they will then not hesitate to turn on you.
Very well put
