This I would file under "feel like someone's watching me" (sorry for the earworm lol) and I personally would give a pass to cause there is some logic in catching sight of someone trying to hide while listening in.

This is rude and I would have called them out on it.
I have had other characters speak up while I'm having some sort of heated discussion icly. One was a wandering Immortal Flames in the back areas of Ul'dah who asked if there was a problem. (While startling, well within his rights as a guard.) Another was someone speaking up when my character started swinging on someone else in Kugane. "Knock it off or I'll call one of the Sekiseigumi." The fight was none of their business... an illegal fight starting near where they were standing was.
To me? Your character is a spy. You're gonna be spying. It's what you do. xD The logical reasoning is solid and I personally find little reason to argue against it.
Would my character possibly call yours out icly if I found you snooping? You bet your ass I would.
XIV open world /say and /emote channels aren't a private chat room. Hell, /say and /em are public unless you're in a private room and the door is locked... much like the real world.
Keep annoyance at being spied on an ic thing.
