What makes it unusual is its usage. It's an odd thing to call your own mother "woman."

Perhaps. But Jesus was known treat his mother this way.

While He was still talking to the multitudes, behold, His mother and brothers stood outside, seeking to speak with Him. Then one said to Him, "Look, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak with You." But He answered and said to the one who told Him, "Who is My mother and who are My brothers?" And He stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said, "Here are My mother and My brothers! For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother." (Matt. 12:46-50)
According to your logic He should have been more accommodating and made His mother feel more welcome. Should Mary have felt slighted by her Son's treatment?
