Let's be clear about something: What proof does Twilight have that Trixie said that she has reformed? She told her that she was going to reform, fired off a few fireworks and then fled Ponyville. Twilight currently has no evidence to suggest that those were anything but words that Trixie threw out so she could make her escape and go back to her old ways without Celestia and Luna leaning over her shoulder all the time.

Twilight has been able to monitor Starlight's progress for months! She knows specifically what her apprentice is and is not likely to do and how much of a risk she poses. By contrast, I suspect that Trixie is going to march in and immediately start causing trouble with her attitude and her jealousy of Twilight's ascension and new political position.

So, yeah, Twilight is going to have some really good reasons for doubting that Trixie is a good influence. Worse, Trixie may be jealous that Twilight Sparkle has chosen anypony except her as her first Special Student, so she may be continually trying to sabotage the innocently-trusting Starlight Glimmer.
