That means that the Peter of that timeline did not learn to control his powers until AFTER he destroyed New York. But our Peter -- current!Peter -- is aware of the need for control.
Timeline B is a difficult thing right now, because Future Hiro, who doesn't seem to belong to it anymore, seems to know everything about it and find it familiar -- other than Claire being alive. (I wonder if there could be an extra Hiro from that timeline jumping around somewhere? Though I doubt we'll see him...) So that would support the idea that nothing else had changed. The thing is, though, that because Peter's control-learning followed saving Claire, it looks like it would have to be part of that timeline; timeline B seems to be what the 'current' world is heading to, minus Hiro's trip to the future, and that trip and the warnings it had are what would create timeline C.
Also, Peter in the hallway seemed like someone who expected to control his powers; I wonder if part of the big thing isn't that he chose to withdraw -- withdraw so much that he ended up in the exact same place as timeline A Peter, who probably(?) never exploded, if Future Hiro expected him to be alive... which means it was somebody else who exploded, and Peter had a different reason to withdraw than guilt... and now my head hurts.
