However, I think that's just fanwank...er, actorwank? I think Boyd was just simply faking his handler persona.

Could you give an example? I have to say that it's something I simply don't find plausible--I think the writers were too swayed by the "ooh, won't that be shocking!" factor without thinking hard enough about the "wait, does this actually make any sense" part of it. But I'd be interested if you had some particular moments or scenes that appear in a whole new light when we realize he's the bad guy.

There are a few lines that take on a very different meaning when seen again. It's not one of the better ones but something like his feelings on the Dollhouse "We're pimps and killers, but in a philanthropic way" line would be one.
EDIT: Yep. io9. The idea came up early in the process for season 2.

GreatMuppetyOdin, in 'Echoes' Boyd was affected by the drugs the regular way, proving that he didn't have Active architecture. But that episode also has one line that could retrospectively be taken as a hint that he's more than he seems. One of the drugged students tells him "There are mansions in your eyes", which was never explained and probably meant to mean nothing, only it could be taken as some sort of foreshadowing.
