Question about Excession by Iain M. Banks

spoilers

I've always been a bit confused by the infinite pregnancy relationship plot in this book.

In retrospect it seems like a terrible idea to send Byr Genar-Hofoen, and Dajeil Gelian off to a remote research outpost together. The Sleeper admits to Byr this was their call. And it says "it was a mistake"

Did the ship know that when it made the choice? Is it "eccentric" after all or just pretending?
