Honestly, I have hard time to consider Braun's behavior as "feeling sorry for Moeka" considering he was pretty much nonchalant while killing her in the anime.
Perhaps I'm a bit too focused on how he expressed himself, but it was a tad difficult to sense empathy from him at that moment.
Also, I still can't see any proper reasoning for his action, because only Braun knows about Moeka's betrayal. For all they know, Moeka could potentially live on alone or stay with the member labs (of course, we watchers know her fate was sealed in that world line anyway.
I don't think Moeka was even considered as a threat among the rounders or for SERN, not they would expect her to betray them, otherwise, she wouldn't be able to keep company to Okabe.
Of course, that's my interpretation of the elements given in the anime and usual "your milage may vary" can be applied here. However, I'm still not convinced entirely, regarding the plot purpose of that incident, aside of skipping Nae's scene.
