Okay, just a few questions.

1. If she can teleport, why didn't she use it at all during her fight with Yang, such as teleport around her to confuse her? Or why didn't she teleport to be infront of Weiss and Blake so they couldn't get past her?

2. If she can teleport, why didn't she just grab Roman in Painting the Town and teleport away, rather than leave an illusion behind and then show up on a ship? Why not just forgoe the ship entirely?

3. If she can teleport, again, why not teleport back to help Roman out? Regardless of whether or not he could handle it, why wouldn't she head back?

If the only incidents in which she seems to have teleported can be explained with a much more mundane explanation, then the mundane explanation is the more likely answer. Occum's Razor is the answer that requires the fewest assumptions.

Teleporting requires we assume assume that the incidents in question were indeed teleportation, that she has an ability completely seperate from her semblance of illusions, and that the other scenarios she could have used it were, as you put it, poor writing.

Mundane answers such as Running and Hiding require we only assume that what she was her illusions, which we know she can do which is not an assumption, and that she simply ran and hid.

So in this case, Occum's Razor suggests the Mundane Answer is the more likely one.
