As Chishio pointed out, they would have been no reason not to show it as it would have been a good use of foreshadowing. Qrow would have seen her reaction and Cinder's, and put things together.

Perhaps it would have been a longer explanation. It was simpler to just mention that her power came with a "crippling weakness" ie. the Grimm bug then to go into further detail.

Really there is no reason for the Maidens to be effected by silver-eyes. There is nothing about them that puts them on the same category as the Grimm to be effected.
