It's not like the covanant will generally break off in the middle of a firefight with the flood to go after you. They just attack anything that isn't covenant.
Anyway, it's perfectly reasonable. The covenant think that we're vile pests that should be utterly eliminated at all costs. They hate the master chief even more because of all the trouble he's caused any pretty much any of them would be happy to die killing him. They're certainly not about to "taint" themselves by dealing with one human.
