[Call it compulsive catchphrasing. Any implication that Sebastian isn't obeying the No Lying order must be protested against, that's just how it is (besides, a truly capable servant doesn't tell the truth - they are wildly dishonest in the most "technically this is not a lie" way to protect their master's good name).
