Well, that little tidbit of information would give Ed something to think about later. So, Greed wasn't dead then. He had just found out through Ling that the Fuhrer was a homunculus, so maybe he had him captured and covered it up by saying he was dead for some reason. There was still a lot he didn't know about them and their plans.

"I don't care if it's my problem or not! I'm not about to sit around and let her kill you!" The two Eds really should have seen these reactions coming. Ed wanting to keep people out of his problems to keep them from harm? Check. Shouldering guilt in a situation he had no control over and insisting he do something to fix it? Double check.
