LostInTime:
I think the Merlin knew that letting Harry slip his leash would make him a more powerful force for good. The White Council can't do anything overt if Harry starts flouting the laws of magic. They'd run afoul of Mab, both as head of the Winter Court and as the enforcer behind the Winter Accords. Harry is already part of Winter and soon will be under the aegis of the White Court's protection. Kicking Harry out and threatening him with the Doom of Damocles is political posturing. The Black Council thinks they can use it to get Ebenezer killed, that's it. They have to recognize that when it comes to Harry, they're toothless.
It's going to suck for them when Ebenezer, as a last act of defiance, wills Harry to be the next Blackstaff.

I think the Council was pushed into this. Most don't want Dresden there, but I think pressure was applied. Either from Mab, or maybe the Black Council.
Conspiracy Theorist:
Never underestimate the power of Harry to piss off authority figures.
The Merlin has wanted rid of Harry for a long time, recognising he is uncontrollable. Harry disappearing for 2 years must have been like his prayers answered.

He's made an art of it and prides himself on it, I think it might even be one of his star born powers. ::)

Yup, ever since Harry bested him in that little political one on one back in Proven Guilty. Which is another reason why he'd want it over and done without his allies present or more importantly, Harry present.. They couldn't kill him outright though, because the evidence they are using doesn't pass the smell test. However he isn't above manipulating the likes of Carlos, who is suffering both physically and mentally from his contact with Molly and the loss of his friends.
Conspiracy Theorist:
The Merlin is supposed to be the arch politician of the White Council, being outmanoeuvred by Harry must have been galling, like Nicodemus finding himself out doublecrossed by Harry, or when Lea got outsmarted by Harry with the mushroom poisoning, or Lord Raith having his weakness deduced by Harry and turned against him.
You know if they all compare notes Harry is toast.
