I always saw the whole episode of Small Worlds as a tipping point. Supposedly he's on suspension, hence the "you shouldn't be here" comment.
In Cyberwoman, Jack makes a decision that causes an extreme amount of personal misery to protect Cardiff from an alien threat that could potentially cause the deaths of millions. It's not personal, even though Ianto's suffering is.

Ianto would have to have seen that, and if you take the BBCA Captain's Blog as canon (which is a whole 'nuther debate), he's the only one who didn't fly into rage at Jack over it. Possibly because he's seen Jack do that before, for the same reason.
