Well, here's one of my assumptions, for what it's worth. I see her as more committed to the organization as an entity-in-itself, in the same way that hard-core CP members sometimes seem to have become excessively attached to the party apparatus and lost sight of the "ultimate" goal, even though they've convinced themselves that they're still staying true to that goal. I think this is an error and a form of mental blindness, but that's what strikes me as being the best explanation for her behavior and the most consistent with what we saw in canon.

Yes, I think this meshes with what appears to be weaknesses or blind spots in her character as time goes along. When we first meet the administration of Section (especially Michael, Operations and Madeline) they are so much more in the know about their environment than we/Nikita are that it's hard to see any significant deficits in their understanding. Those are revealed through time (no surprise there) and with Madeline, I do think that they are primarily about her relationship to the organization. In some ways she is a true believer, which requires a kind of devotion beyond logic.
