The housekeeper is an employee of the hotel, and the hotel reserves the right to enter your room at any time for any reason. Its in the fine print of any hotel reservation. So, I agree with PP that it's not accurate to say they "shouldn't have been there". I do believe it was a mistake in this instance, but even if it weren't, there's not much of a leg to stand on since the housekeeper has the right to enter regardless.
I'm not an attorney, but I suspect the hotel's right to enter a room is conditional. If there is a medical emergency, security threat, maintenance issue, etc..., they can enter. I'm not sure it applies to a situation where housekeeping is not providing services during the stay, but enters erroneously due to a bad assumption.
In this case, I thinks its a no harm - no foul situation. But I think WDW should be made aware that they risk creating a liability. If something did come up missing, or something of the guest was broken or thrown away, WDW would be in a difficult situation. If I was the manager of that hotel, I would want to know that my staff is entering rooms prematurely.
