Oh, I completely read it that way as well. I know I often watch stuff through slash-colored lenses, but I didn't even have to consciously re-interpret anything in this case. The Lancelot/Guinevere/Arthur triangle is a key facet of the legend, and I'm sure they meant to imply it, but there was hardly anything to suggest it.
That long moment where Lancelot watches Guinevere at night through the gauzy curtains? That was completely "Oh, now I see why Arthur's attracted to her" and not at all "I'd like me some of that." I had to actually think about it afterwards to realize they probably meant it the latter way. But it sure didn't play like that onscreen!
