I just rewatched the beginning of The Miller's Daughter, and I agree. It seems off to me too. However, one thing that just occured to me after reading your second point was that Leopold could have thought that Regina was the child she was carrying when he was going to marry Cora. I mean Regina and Zelena must be pretty close in age. In his mind, he may have thought that Cora cared more about "looking out" for Regina's well-being than advancing her social status by marrying him. This would at least give motive for why he would make such a statement.
