DO keep the commode lid closed. That had to have been very traumatic and might even have been a very close call since ferrets and small dogs HAVE drowned in toilets, so he was lucky to find enough purchase to either pull himself up or to push off and leap out that fast. The fear itself could have caused the one bout of green runs. Green simply means fast transit through the GI tract. Since you say that all that was in there was plain old water and he shows no signs of injury or other problem beyond what sounds like one bout of fear diarrhea there should not be another concern as long as that lid is always closed in the future to prevent drowning.
