I think they have a meta-game relationship going on. Something about cop claims and paragons of towniness.

Another answer is that from each of their perspectives (regardless of which is scum and which is sk), the relationship was working for them.

It might very well have led to suspicion about why the other was playing along, but so long as it was helping their own cause there would seem little reason to disturb things.
