Angel acting OOC? Hmm...

Well, based only on what we've seen of him: Maybe a little bit. He's brash, direct, and sometimes a slight jerk. Although, going by the implications that he is one of Fluttershy's closest friends outside the Mane 6: No, not at all.

He may be an occasional jerk, but he's a Jerkass With a Heart of Gold, and I think this episode is proof of it. No matter how much of an unorthodox voice of reason he may be for Fluttershy, he's her friend, and friends comfort each other. Angel knows and understand's Fluttershy's sensitive disposition, and he was smart enough to realize this was no time to be mean or the Deadpan (albeit silent) Snarker.

So from that point of view: He was anything but OOC here, and I think this actually developed his "Heart of Gold" part.
