(otherwise Dark Brotherhood assassins would probably still be trying to kill you) The "well done" is most likely just her congratulating you on an impressive kill (she always was a bit... full of herself) It's more a reference to the foreshadowing of the ultimate end of that questline. As in, the Nightmother wanted her dead, therefore she was eventually going to die. However, it makes no real difference if you kill her then or if she dies later. . . she must be done away with in order to restore the Dark Brotherhood to it's true glory.
