I don't think Mifune broke free the moment he knew. Itachi knew he was in Koto, yet he continued under it's influence and didn't break free due to knowing. There's three possibilities that I can think of, off the top of my head.

1) Each eye is somewhat different just like any other Mangekyo Sharingan. One can only remotely control a target with Koto. The other can make a specific command that the target has to carry out no matter what.

2) Both eyes have both abilities and Danzo just merely stopped manipulating Mifune since he had been found out and Ao was literally watching his every move with the Byakugan. No point in just continuing that, that would of made things worst for him.

3) Danzo's command that he was using to control Mifune (such as Itachi's "Protect Konoha") had been fulfilled thus the Genjutsu was over.
