I think there's a more down to earth reason.
Now that I think about it, I don't think Yoneda
ever seen Satan up front until ST2. And by
the time Ayame appears face to face with
Satan in ST, she was already on her way to
becoming evil Ayame. So the two most likely
to recognize Satan as Yamazaki never got
the chance until it was too late.
As for Yamazaki being easy to defeat, he was
already cake when you fight him in ST so it
wasn't really any different here. It's only when
he turned into "Satan" in the end of ST that he
became tough(really tough!).
