I'm sure that if the only people that stopped their vehicles in bike lanes were those that had broken down cars, the cyclists wouldn't be so annoyed by it. And furthermore, the very presence of bike lanes gives some motorists license to abuse cyclists when they do choose to go into the normal travel lane. From direct observation of similar situations, I suspect that cyclists using the travel lane to pass this woman's car would be subject to abuse by motorists. So contrary to the OP's assertion, it does go back to the motorists
