Yes. No one knows she's in a bad spot as far as bending is concerned. Though Korra eavesdropped, she[i] did[/i] apologize, which I hope Lin will keep in mind. We all make mistakes and Korra's still growing up.

She'd respect it. HOWEVER, she's going to give Mako some SERIOUS shade once she knows that he knew about Asami developing bending and, with her, decided not to tell anyone about it. Looks like a combination of special treatment AND that Asami knows something about all this that she's not letting on, thus sparking the conflict between the ladies.
