If she can not get the seat low enough, she will hurt in the back of the knees, and her butt will get sore fast because it is moving on the saddle a lot with every pedal stroke. The bigger frame will be harder to control, and she will probably have discomfort between the shoulder blades from reaching too far.
Women having fun are more pleasing to look at than women in pain, IMO.
The length of the seatpost causes it to hit the bottom of the tube, leaving the saddle a couple of inches above the top of the tube. Cutting the bottom of the tube should allow a lower saddle position. I know that this wont be a great fit, but it may be a slight improvement.
