Since when?   He fed them beef, together with cream (or butter) and 
milk, separately but simultaneously.

If so then why bring the milk into it at all?   Simply by eating meat 
he'd shechted (or rather that his son Yishma`el had shechted) they had 
conceded all that (according to this explanation) was required.  Why 
complicate the matter with questions of basar bechalav?  Therefore it's 
clear that that was not the issue.
