As understandable as the mistake is, I would be upset if I had arranged a private meeting with someone and they let a third party into the conversation (excluding force majeure such as sophisticated hacking, violence, etc).

Especially if it was some unaccountable third party recording agent! Who knows where that data is going?

OK, and nobody is disputing this. The fact remains, he did not let any third party into the conversation.
