I got the impression that he knew all along. He buried Bob, and only came back for him after his time with Eb had concluded. My guess is that Bob told him that much in the time between DuMorne's death and the Council showing up.

Entirely possible but Harry was ignorant of Bob's range of power until Dead Beat.

Sure, but that's because he never stopped to ask Bob details. He doesn't seem to have asked much about DuMorne, either. But he knew to hide Bob from the Wardens, and wait to retrieve him until he was on his own. And he knew after Dead Beat that Bob belonged to Kemmler. So officially knowing they knew about Bob wasn't really news. More like confirming what he'd already deduced.

That's possible, but there's nothing in the text to support it, and the 'feel' of the conversation with Luccio goes the other way. Bob was always worried about Mab getting her hands on him, in the conversations with Harry, not the Wardens.
We don't know the details of how they met, JB has said Harry became Bob's master at 16, which is part of why Bob is as lecherous as he is, imprinting on a teenaged boy as his new master. But how much Justin ever told him about Bob, or just what, we don't know, and I don't know if even Bob knows about the Council termination order. It might well be part of the data he locked away when he no longer worked for Kemmler.
If Bob did know, at the very least I'd have expected some kind of comment from him on the subject when Harry arrived at Karrin's house in Dead Beat wearing a Warden cloak.

I'm not seeing where Harry learned anything new.
--- Quote --- The necromancer Kemmler had such a spirit in his service, a sort of miniature version of the Archive. Nowhere near as powerful, but it had been studying and learning beside wizards for generations, and the things it was capable of were appalling.” She shook her head.
I took a sip of tea, because otherwise the gulp would have been suspicious. She was talking about Bob. And she was right about what Bob was capable of doing. When I’d unlocked the personality he’d taken on under some of his former owners, he’d nearly killed me.
“The Wardens destroyed it, of course,” she said.
No, they hadn’t. Justin DuMorne, former Warden, hadn’t destroyed the skull. He’d smuggled it from Kemmler’s lab and kept it in his own—until I’d burned him to death, and taken it from him in turn.
--- End quote ---
That seems to be the entirety of their Bob conversation. There was no standing kill order with the Council because they believed it to be destroyed. As far as they're concerned, Bob was dead for forty years.
