Mags i do this all the time and have never had a problem, today i passed a traffic copper stood in the road directing traffic around a couple of fire engines that were at a house fire i thought he was going to say something but he just smiled. I pass the police station where the traffic cops are based and often pass traffic cars and they have never said anything.
I also often follow motorbikes up the outside of the traffic in the same position including a motor bike cop and i actually passed him as he could not get through a gap at an island, he was not bothered.
When i do this i actually cycle closer to the oncoming traffic than the traffic on my side as they can see me where as the traffic on my side might not see me especially if they dont use there mirrors. It also gives some space if someone was to step out from in between the cars or a car door was to open.
I think she was just a nervous driver or just having a bad day. I wouldn't worry about it.
