Do we know this? My recollection is that the only place we hear this from is Maeve in Cold Days, when she's on her lying spree. Given that, and given that she would quite enjoy getting Harry killed by convincing her to attack Mab, I wouldn't consider her a reliable source.
Otoh, I may be misremembering. Do we ever hear this from anyone else?

He seemed to be basing that on empirical evidence that his recovery from injuries during Mab's rehab / training sessions was markedly faster than normal.

Lily actually confirms this, and she would know, she wouldn't need Maeve to tell her. This would be instinctual and perhaps also trained knowledge, because she did spend almost a decade training with Titania.
But also - Occam's razor. It makes sense. Although I would say the crucially left out piece of information is the Winter Knight's mortal nature in combination with Winter's power is what makes him truly dangerous. He can choose to kill her. Which is much more than her other vassals.
Also Maeve didn't need to lie. If Dresden died trying to end Mab she wouldn't become Queen, which was one of her main objectives. Maeve could have killed Harry much earlier if her intention was that. But she didn't. She truly wanted Mab dead, she hated Mab most of all.
And it is foreshadowing how Mab will die. If that wasn't obvious.

Didn't he state that Mab explained it to him, or am I remembering something that didn't happen? I think it was in Cold Days after Andy shredded his back when someone was giving him first aid.

I'm not sure if it was the damage from Andi or Lacuna's hit squad, but he told Molly some moderately bad cuts would heal themselves in a few days at the rate he was running then.
