Salam,
No I don't think it is strange. I see the wisdom that Allah, SWT is forwarding to the believers.
If you read the tafsir to the Qur'an 33:69, since the first Hadith that you refer to is connected to it, perhaps you better understand the wisdom in this.
The sense moral is that there is a lesson to learn of this, the hadith is like a reminder to the believers of the Qur'an to avoid to be addicted to slander and repeat the same mistake as the people of Musa, AS did, so it is today, and have been for over the last 1400 years, a reminder to the people that raises charges and slander against the Prophet Muhammad, SAAWS for example that he did edit the Qur'an himself, asthagfirullah, among other slanderous things.
A very good thing to bear in mind, if one is not sure of something, it is better for one self to say nothing instead of spreading vicious lies.
Regards
