Maybe what Twilight meant was that she didn't know that they were going to be mobbed.

But it does indeed sound as if she was admitting that the teleport had been an accidental involuntary reflex. Since this was so early in the series, maybe it's an indication that they meant to write Twilight as more of a novice at magic rather than as the prodigy the character quickly became.

But alas, we may never know...
