I would say it did make sense for Watson to immediately react the way he did in canon -- the guy IS forever ignoring himself, and after all he was really really overjoyed and relieved that Holmes was alive and got whipped into a new, immediately-pressing adventure straight away. For him, it's in-character to forget about the fact that he got screwed in favor of his joy in seeing Holmes again. But I'd still bet that later, after all the excitement and shock wore off and he had time to think about it, he would be pretty upset and hurt. (But of course canon has the unfortunate Catch-22 of Watson being far too polite to air his dirty laundry in a public story.)

BBC!John, on the other hand, doesn't defer or ignore his personal issues and reaction nearly as much as canon!Watson, and also hasn't known Sherlock as long as Watson knew Holmes (ten years vs a year and a bit) to get desensitized to Holmes fucking around with him. So IMO it would be far more in-character for John to be immediately furious than to react the way canon!Watson reacted.
