So even if the loyalist questline didn't exist, from then on she works under the assumption that the 'champion' is a traitor to her and everything she tells them to do about Saurfang or any other traitor will be planned accordingly. Which in my opinion means, she left Derek hanging in that room for all to see and to spur Baine into action, knowing full well the 'traitor champion' would go along with it. If you see the ingame cinematic in Stormsong valley as a traitor, she looks at you before she looks at Zelling (if you see it as a loyalist she looks at you too of course, but it doesn't feel the same. And at the time the cinematic was planned there sure wasn't supposed to be a loyalist standing there ^^).
