Well, this may a little lame but...
Maybe a lot of people did notice, but most people, especially Ron, 
Hermione, and the others who cared about him, were only watching him 
to make sure he didn't fall off and he was just about to catch the 
snitch.  Of course Lupin would notice as he was teaching Harry about 
it.  Also, we do hear about how it's a lot easier to produce a 
patronus without real dementors around.  Maybe they're just surprised 
he could do it with the real thing attacking him?  I don't know.  
It's probably just an oops on JKR's part.
