how it fell into your possession."  (emphasis mine).  Sounds like
Lupin knew *exactly* how Filch came by the map but wasn't about to
tell.  The explanation was too long and perhaps would compromise his
secret.

Carol adds:
I think it would have compromised *all* his secrets, most notably that
both he and Sirius Black knew secret passages into Hogwarts castle and
that Sirius could well be hiding on the grounds, either in dog form or
in human form inside the Shrieking Shack. The fact that he was a
werewolf would no doubt have come out, too, if the rest were known. I
can understand why he might conceal all this from Harry, but
believing, as he apparently did or at least claimed to, that Sirius
was a murderer and Harry was in danger, he ought to have turned the
map over to Dumbledore.
