My initial notes, just bits and pieces in no particular order (and possibly completely unintelligble), are under the cut, and I will add to them as we go along.

Ooh, and this is where I part company completely and absolutely with you! As I see it, Ianto is a convenient sex-partner. Jack likes him; loves him in the way he loves all the team; but isn't in love with him. And, yes, that may partly be my own prejudice (I've tried, but I don't like Ianto and I loathe Jack/Ianto), but it's also based on Ianto's comments to others about their relationship: the 'dabbling' and the comment to Owen that 'it's not what you think'.
Other than that, yes, Jack's better-equipped than most to deal with the fallout of being ejected from the bedroom, and of course they still love him and he loves them. Me, I tend to see him as in love with them as well, but again this is one of those interpretation/characterisation things. One is as reconcilable with canon as the other, even if Jack has given a lot of hints that his feelings for both the Doctor and Rose are very strong. Kissing them goodbye. Dying for them. Still loving the Doctor even after being abandoned (his aside to Martha in Sound of Drums, for example. Going to see Rose grow up. But, yeah, I'm sure others could interpret all those as the love of a good friend plus added sexual attraction.
Again, thanks for the great discussion!
