It seems you only wanted to make things better, but from the way you've described it, your behavior contradicted your intentions.
If you don't expect special treatment, only equal rights, why would you pull over on a narrow road when you have every right to proceed on the green?
It seems to me the driver was just confused because she was expecting you to exercise your equal rights and didn't want or expect to squeeze by you.
If drivers (or cyclists) can't count on behavior on the road to be uniform and predictable, the whole system falls apart. If you don't want to follow the rules of the road, or want to make up rules as you go, maybe the street isn't for you.
