When Cypher talks to Smith he had to take the ship to broadcast depth and jack himself in without anyones knowledge, because later at breakfast Morph tells them to go to broadcast depth. If he did this without assistance why wouldn't Smith just trace the signal and capture the ship unaware while all are asleep. It seems difficult to jack onself in much less pilot the ship alone in dangerous territory. If Smith came into the construct program he would instantly know the ships location. One other thing, what purpose did the little bug trace in neo serve? Is scarred him but no agents were following him when he went to see Morph.
