I think the choice of the desert props was something overlooked by the director. There is usually always something off. It is actually fun to find these "easter egg" mistakes. In reference to your hypothesis, though, Sheldon needed time to process the experience of his first true kiss. It was obviously emotion-overload for him, as he looks out of breath and dumbfounded immediately after kissing her. Kissing at the bed and breakfast would have been moving too fast for him in just a couple of days. I mean, this is SHELDON we are discussing.

The episode following "The Locomotive Manipulation" did not air until three weeks later, and it was probably during this time that Shamy wound up adding the purported new clause to the Relationship Agreement, kissing on date nights (only).
