Let's see it this way: Important isn't whether Twilight forgave Trixie or not.

It's important,

a) whether she trusted her to be at her best form at a dinner with Princess Celestia

b) whether she had faith in Trixie being a trustworthy friend for ex-villain Starlight, and

c) whether she actually liked and understood Trixie?

Twilight got to know Trixie in a very early stadium of her friendship studies, and she did not get to know her really well. Even without the influence of the amulet, Trixie was a confrontational show-off.

Then, in "Magic Duel", it was clear that Trixie - from the very beginning - wanted to use the power of the amulet for revenge, but did not expect how much it would change her for worse. So Twilight spoke a very short forgiving phrase, but never accepted Trixie as a pony she liked. As she said: "She wasn't the nicest pony."

Still, she gave it a shot to trust them, but was still nervous about how the dinner would turn out (you know, with Trixie messing with the silver ware, grinning like this). And then Trixie and Starlight didn't show up, it got to an argument, Trixie said what she said.
