If it wasn't a cycle lane you were blocking then there's no problem - I'd have done the same as you. Likewise, a car/wagon would have been perfectly entitled to block his entrance to the cycle lane from the left hand side (by stopping close to the kerb), would he have complained then? A cycle box is his area, but he doesn't have right of way (as you've said) getting to it, like we can filter but don't have right of way should our paths be blocked.
