The OotBK only got half the information from a biased source and yet they turned. As I said before, it's not hard to make the BK betray Zero because they have never fully trusted Zero. This is a byproduct of Lelouch hiding his identity. They already had issues with him when they went around the world securing alliances while Zero went and crush the Geass cult. Zero is unreliable--one time he looks like he'd bring you to victory and later he leaves you to get captured. Even Lelouch said himself that Zero is untrustworthy (back when he compared himself to Euphemia concerning SAR).
When Schneizel came, Toudou already got some info from Kinoshita that Asahina relayed right before his death. Schneizel's info may be suspicious, but it fill in the blanks. The way I understand it, the BK decide to take things in their own hands and not risk their lives and fates in Zero anymore. Yes he brought them to the gate of victory, but he also sabotaged them (in a way). It really looks plausible that Lelouch the Britannian prince is playing a sick and cruel game using them. It's different than being made a pawn in a fight to topple Britannia. At least you're a pawn with purpose that way.
