Keep in mind that the whole "kabuto joins Obito" thing happened at the very start of the war and balanced it considerably in their favor. Madara being revived was another major threat that could not have been predicted. And finally, it's only thanks to those Edo Tensei that the Juubi was revived at all. And even then, Madara was revived thanks to Obito, something that wasn't predicted either.

Prior to the war, the fight was in favor of the Alliance. It only lasted 2 days, so if Jigen was busy with other things and wasn't an omniscient being predicting all the ways the fight would go sour, he might not have noticed there was a war at all.
