relieved comes to mind - but I think it would depend on circumstances. "I was relieved that I was wrong when I said the ice cream shop would be sold out."

heartening? - it was heartening to hear that everything was okay when i thought things were really bad?

opportune? - like where you are happy to have an excuse to leave something you don't want to be at - an opportune phone call that got me out of a meeting?

Unforeseen? unexpected? unanticipated? bittersweet? none of these are quite right...

I can’t think of a single word that conveys a sense of happy to have been wrong specifically. I think your son should come up with a new word!
