"Bleeding Through" was an after thought that the writers didn't know how to explain properly. These are the same writers who knew a season in advance that they wanted Cora to be the Queen of Hearts and got Barbara to voice her in "Hat Trick". Also the same writers who told Lana on the set of the Pilot about Daniel. (Even though Pilot has that nasty little retconned line of "she poisoned an apple because she thought I was prettier than her!") I think they had the Cora/Leopold thing planned for a while now, and just didn't execute it properly during The Stable Boy, because all the hints are there in season 2. And some in season 1.
