I don't think it's jerkish at all to be skeptical.

On the side of 'not an accident,'my logic goes an extra-canonical route.

Completely redecorating Stiles' room along with both buying a second carpet, etc., and re-creating props takes time and money, from the material costs to the wages paid to the people doing the overhaul on a set that's going to be used for only a few days of filming.

Similarly, editing shots in post production takes money.

The show has a limited budget, something talked about more than once in interviews. I remember Jeff Davis saying they get the entire budget on screen. Simply starting from a financial PoV I have a hard time imagining them going to the trouble if they didn't intend for it to pay off later in the story. Especially when it's not easy to notice!
