I agree. I'd more much more inclined to say it affected the action if he had called.
What I would like for the dealer to do in that situation after player X told him to pull in the bets:
Smile at him and say/do nothing. If player X asks again, the dealer should ask him to be quiet because the action is not on him. After the hand is over he should tell player X why he can't do that.
It's certainly not a big thing but I would prefer for the dealer to say as little as possible during the hand in situations like that.
