He completely ignored a lot of information because he was still processing a lot of old information, was trying to maintain a false personality in front of an incredibly intimidating wizard, and was exhausted to boot.
True, but we saw him the next day as well. I find it hard to believe that he wouldn't even reflect on his conversation. The dark lord coming back isn't the kind of thing you ignore, even if you know it's false.
I think after spending a day in an agonizing place of torment trying to rescue someone and then have it turn out that be basically ruined everything... it's seriously okay if he spends a day agonizing over that before he starts trying to solve his next puzzle.
Everything went wrong in Azkaban specifically because he LOST his grip on rationality. It doesn't make a lot of sense to try and solve the next problem until he's sure he's got his head on straight.
