Let's say, it had happened this way: Lupin comes out of the shower, 
glances at the map and sees Pettigrew.  Do you think he would have 
dashed out without putting on his pants?  

I know both Harry and Snape somethimes dash off without telling 
anyone, but Lupin has no excuse this time.
But we know he wasn't in the shower, he was specifically looking at the map. 
He says so in the chapter. Lupin said that he was looking at the map because 
he knew that Harry, Ron and Hermione were going to see Hagrid about Buckbeak, 
what he didn't expect to see was Pettigrew's name on the map, and then see 
Sirius on it. He saw them go into the Whomping Willow and thought that some action 
would need to be taken. Although Harry has time to kill Sirius, what if the 
moment had gone on longer? Would Harry have then decided to kill Sirius? Lupin 
prevented Harry from harming Sirius and allowed for the back story to take 
place. I for one, believe that Lupin did forget to take the potion, as it wasn't 
a daily routine.
