I've been thinking about this awhile and I'm here just to post this thought (so I haven't skimmed over what has been said since I last piosted)...but perhaps PART OF Aizen knowing that Gin was going to betray him is related to his relationship with Rangiku. Whenever she showed up and Gin offered to take care of her, Aizen must have thought he was going to finally make his move to betray him (thus his extreme suspicion of him lately). So upon his return to state that she was dead kind of came as a shock to Aizen, who otherwise was certain that Gin could never kill her. It may be that in this instant, that Aizen let go of his suspicion at the very last minute...(perhaps the reason Gin chose then and there to strike, that way Aizen wouldn't be on his guard) feeling that Gin perhaps was postponing his attempted murder. Otherwise, he always had the feeling...even if it was pushed to the back of his head just before the blow to the heart.

I'm also feeling that Gin's speech and toying with Ichigo was not apart of Aizen's overall intentions, feeling that maybe Gin was inticing Ichigo into his own plot. Aizen apparently has other plans for Kurosaki, so anything different would trouble him. Ah, so many things...the more I think on it, there's a 50/50 chance that Kubo intends for Aizen's death.
