First, it's a hunch so there is nothing to support its veracity. But Assange has never been caught without a backup plan and he'd be stupid to put all of his cards on the table.

What would not being caught with a backup plan look like to you?

Would getting stuck in an embassy qualify?

Not sure whether you're saying being stuck in an embassy meant he lacked a backup plan or whether it was one, but I'd side with him being able to stay in the embassy as a backup plan considering WL suspected there was a secret grand jury indictment against Assange.
