I feel your pain. Been thinking about them all damn day, and while Yagyuu is a brilliant Jeeves, Niou isn't daft enough to be Wooster! Wah Pez causes pain!
I approach this subject with mixed feelings. Yagyuu!Jeeves is sexier than he has any right to be. He'd solve all Wooster's problems just by existing. People would be too busy considering how utterly lickable Yagyuu is to remember to be angry with Wooster. Niou!Wooster must be faking stupidity to create maximum havoc. It's my only explanation.
It was supposed to be victorian so J&W don't really fit and the buggering is quite titillating. But still!
Well, the original Jeeves does seem to have magical powers, so the mere existence of Jeeves should make a difference. I'm sure they teach this brand of magic at butler school. The true Hogwarts. I like your explanation, it is distressingly logical. Of course Niou would abuse his situation to the utmost, especially when he can have Yagyuu!Jeeves sort out all his problems and cover up every last peccadillo.
Butlerbuggering -- I'm sure it was positively normal back in the victorian times. Just one of so many things the world was rife with, that one would not dream of talking about.
I'm convinced that butlerbuggering was very common. I've read an essay sometime about the relationship between officers and their and personal servants (they were called batmen =P ), who'd often continue to serve as valets after their military time was over. They could be pretty close, apparently. *cough* It's sort of like Wimsey and Bunter if you're familiar with Dorothy Sayer's novels at all.
