Well, examples I can think of about Celestia's not-so-perfect aspects in a personality/decision sense would be:
 * Luna's turning into Nightmare Moon: We don't know the exact story behind this event and Celestia may be less severely at fault than she seems to be in the version of the story told in the fan-made "Lullaby for a Princess. Still, Celestia could probably have prevented Luna's turning, had she been more attentive to her sister's mental state.
 * Sunset Shimmer's betrayal: Celestia failed to notice her "best pupil's" greed for power or she erroneously thought this greed would fade away.
 * She can be mischievous: Under the guise of teaching lessons to companions and subjects (as mentioned in Friends Forever Issue 3 comic and as depicted in some episodes such as The Ticket Master – surely she did that on purpose! – or A Bird in the Hoof), sometimes she is shown to have a little bit too much fun (Grand Galloping Gala). In Make New Friends but Keep Discord, I also find her "inability" to stop the Smooze very dubious, especially when she seems so unusually joyful at the end of the episode!
 * She may have a sweet tooth: she seems to show little reserve when it comes to cakes (notably in MMMystery on the Friendship Express). At least, we know she isn't a changeling!
