I think this might always happen occasionally.
I can't imagine anyone ever being in total charge of when I go to the bathroom..... allowing me a certain time and a certain place - and expecting me to follow this routine 100% of the time....
Our little dogs are not "machines." They are little animals. I am sure there are times they may not need to go to the bathroom when they usually do - and other times when they need to go all of a sudden.
Your little puppy was just a little off schedule - and probably had to go all of a sudden - so she just went at a time and place that wasn't what you have programmed for her.
As I said - I would expect this to happen occasionally - and would consider it normal.
I really think that expecting 100% compliance from our little dog's with their bathroom habits is asking a little tooooooo much. We need to allow for a few exceptions now and then.
