The thing is to that if it was Sheppard leading Teyla into the Wraith hive he would have had no problem with it at all. He's dragged her along on more of his half cocked plans than I can even count and even right here in this episode he came up with the brilliant idea of destroying the whole agreement and getting his hive shooting at hers just so he could try to rescue her before one or both ships exploded. The reason she needed rescuing? Well the ship she was on went to hyperspace so that clearly must mean she's messed something up and he has to come charging to the rescue to "save" her.
Had he actually succeeded in doing what he was planning he would have actually caused the mission to fail, plus destroyed their relationship with Todd and ruined probably their best if not only chance to get that new drug out there.
I think that it's not just a case of him worrying about Teyla's safety here, as we've seen numerous times in the past that he's fine with her being in danger so long as he's leading her. I think it's more a case that on some subconcious level he thinks that she's not as capable on her own as he is and therefore she needs his protection.
