Imo, you did the right thing. Iirc, I merged master into devel shortly thereafter. The problem with committing anywhere *except* master is that it doesn't fix master :-) There are two problems with committing only in master: 1. It doesn't follow the expected development pattern. 2. Devs won't routinely test the fix when they use anything in devel or based on devel. Imo, the solution is to commit urgent fixes to master *and* devel, by committing to master and then merging master into devel. Of course, all unit tests should pass in master before committing, but that's also true for committing to devel.
