I'm not quite sure what you meant in the 2nd para. But I find it interesting that multiple probes showed the same effect. It's so compelling I wish they would send some missions specifically to test this even more precisely.
The obvious parallel was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pioneer_anomaly which was finally solved. But who know at this point?
Personally I think GR has to be "wrong", since it conflicts with QM, and if the 20th century showed us anything it's that QM alway wins.
I haven't really seen science work that way, since it isn't all that often we base our expectations solely on things we can completely account for. Science necessitates a certain amount of calculated projection. Theories are adjusted as new details are discovered, and only fools entertain themselves by resisting the bigger leaps needed to make actual discoveries.
