There are a few things that don't make sense between the game and the DLC, mostly due to written documents, but this point can be defended.

Honestly, what does Daud really know about Corvo? The fact that several of the Lord Regent's allies were killed or disappeared one after another during the few days after his escape seem to point him out as the mysterious "Masked Felon", seeking revenge on anyone involved with the Empress' murder. Add to this that Daud has been dreaming about Corvo confronting him for the same purpose, that's a pretty scary perspective, even for such an experimented assassin. Still, even griefed by guilt he's not willing to die easily, hence why he went after Delilah, and why he prefered to keep Corvo captive until he was assured of his role in those tragic events, eventually handing him to Havelock if he turned out to be just another bloodthirsty asshole in the great circus of Dunwall.

I believe that's the best possible explanation, even considering the level of chaos of both men and its consequences.
