Because her address is already in a *_these_nonmembers filter. Assuming
she is in accept_these_nonmembers and not hold_these_nonmembers, her
post is being held for some other reason.

(Actually, that may not be the reason in this case - see below).

She may already be subscribed.

Here's where I'm confused (thank you Sonic). The reason "Post to
moderated list" says this is a post from a member whose moderate flag
is set. That's the only source of that reason. But, in that case, at
this point, there should be a "Clear this member's moderate flag"
checkbox, so I don't know what's going on.

Check your membership list to see if she is a moderated member.
