Agreed, but somewhat quietly. My take is that they figured that at this point the gig is about up anyway, and that by giving us more insight they could counterbalance some of the real in-fandom problems that developed as a result of leaving him looking like a complete crumb-bum. Even after years of them slowly pulling back the veil, there are still people who are certain he's a complete rotter.
I know why they did it the way they did the first time. But I also suspect that this was a good and reasonable time to provide a corrective, as the secret's less secret now in any case. It allowed them to do a number of things, including what you mention below: establish Anevka far more clearly as a dangerous villainess for some time.
Me, I'm curious whether she dinged Mummy before or after her robotification.
