Well signaling a turn doesn't mean they still don't have to yield to traffic in the bike lane. Rules of the road would dictate that the bike has right of way in the bike lane and the car needs to stop and wait for the bike to pass before crossing over into the bike lane for their turn.
I take some responsibility for not getting out of the disappearing bike lane sooner, but to say it's "totally" my fault I think is a little harsh.
