I think you underestimate the value the rest of the Six put on Fluttershy's friendship. Think what Rainbow gave up for her in Rainbow Falls, for example!

I suspect that Discord is, in their minds, Fluttershy's strange friend that only somepony as nice as her could possibly make (the phrase "mad, bad and dangerous to know" jumps to mind). So long as she keeps him under control, there won't be any problems but they certainly won't drop her just because she's chosen to try to help a being who's never known friendship before.
