My problem with the Faith arc was the starting point and the fact that whilst she was still Faith she was more a hybrid S3/S4 Faith with none of the Angel influence and entirely missing the slightly quieter standoffish Faith of S7 and as Beer good has said its A-F back to B.
Sometimes I wonder if it's inevitable after-effect of crossing over to another medium or another show. When Willow crossed over to Angel in Orpheus she has basically turned into a season 3 Willow. When Spike has crossed over to Angel in season 5 he has turned into a season 4 Spike. When all Scoobies crossed over to comics they had turned into their high school selves - visually and internally. And while I don't mind Xander getting a six-pack and Buffy getting her season 1 boobs back, their behavior is often annoying. So far, Faith has got the best arc, but hoped for more.
Plus the habit of dropped balls doesn't fill me with confidence to explaining the Buffy & Giles situation.
Yes - I tried to explain his behavior by his knowledge of the existence of the mole, then realised that it's a useless fanwank. :)
