I think Watson was pleased (knowing that Holmes could show his affection in sometimes creepy ways), otherwise why would he mention it with such fondness?
Yes, to his credit, Lestrade is not a sore loser. He accepts any bad feelings that he is wrong without when he is proven to be so. Not everyone is like that, and that's certainly his merit.
Doyle didn't care XD Only he could poke fun of the brain fever cliche in one of his medical stories and then proceed to use it in Holmes stories. Or perhaps it's Watson-the-unreliable-narrator again? "If ever you write an account, Watson, you can make rabbits serve your turn." It doesn't mean that they thought it to be rabbits. Watson just says it was a convenient explanation. And yay Granada for fixing it!
