It's always been my understand that if a rogue moves in to attack a flat-footed foe and has the ability to make more than one attack, only the first will serve as a sneak attack. All other attacks are normal.

So. Just so I'm not delusional - aside from Majuba, please (no offense) - someone - am I wrong?

yes and no

a rogue gets to apply sneak damage as long as they meet the requirments for sneak... so if the target is denied their dexterity for each of the rogues attacks then ALL the attacks would get sneak damage.

one cases that sometimes is played wrong (any might be why you thought you only get 1 attack) is that if you attack when hidden after the first attack you are no longer hidden and the target is no longer denied their dex so only one of your attacks would be a sneak attack.

Problem is, this is the sort of ability the player in question would activate before the meeting, not during. He tends to be overly cautious. Now, I haven't read the section where this meeting occurs yet, so it may not last long enough if cast in advance...

Misdirection is in effect in that meeting to ensure that detect evil won't undo everything all at once. Detect evil shouldn't be able to undo the adventure at this early stage at all. Queen Ileosa isn't an idiot; she knows how to take care of herself. As for the queen...

You could very easily just give her a device that masks her alignment or shows her alignment to be something other than it truly is if knowing she is evil is a big deal.

I like Keith Baker's take on Detect Evil... just cause someone detects as evil doesnt mean you go out and kill them. It just means dont trust, them be wary of them... and it also doesn't mean that they are going to out right kill you either.
