I rather suspect that Lydia was meant to be a bit ruffle-feathered about serving the Dragonborn, then grow more honored and respectful, but the dialogue progression was screwed up.
This is a known issue for the game--just ask the guy behind Guard Dialogue Overhaul, as he faced the same thing and found the better dialogue was already present but never triggered--just like Lydia.
Serena is almost the same, as a follower. One of her lines, when you want to give her stuff... 'This better not be all the stuff that you just can't be bothered with'.
Lydia has also gone from being in a nice, warm castle to .... that house? With this person?
I'm not discounting this mod, but her attitude makes sense, if you consider her as a person.
Personally, this seems like the kind of mod to have for Lydia after .... maybe 6 months or a year of having her as a follower? As in, the 'immersion' factor, allowing for her to get over the attitude and start to respect you?
For an even more pleasant Lydia experience, a complementary mod for this nice mod can be found here : Lydia - Silence Dammit ! (She stops yawning and coughing)
What would be a really nice mod to have is her randomly say one of the 4 options: Lets see, As you wish, What do you want and yes, even the Swooooorn. But only at a 5% chance :-) Sorry I'm so dumb at modding, otherwise I would do it myself.

This mod does just that.. Makes Lydia less of an Emo teen and more of a respectful Gimp..
