Corbyn accepted the nomination reluctantly as he was persuaded that a left wing candidate was needed to broaden the debate, and I suspect the right/centre of the party wanted to pull the rug from under the left who then wouldn't be able to moan they had been given no chance to air their views.
He no more expected to win than his nominees expected him to. It looks like after his shock of winning he is warming to the job. The big losers are the Parliamentary party who expected him to be a lamb going to slaughter.
