I've often thought that there was some greater design involved in Twilight's destiny, but the thought that Celestia would deliberately imprison her own sister for a thousand years just to test a student in the future makes me cringe.

As for how Nightmare Moon eventually escaped, it was my understanding that her prison term had a very specific expiration date, hence Twilight's alarm concerning the legend and the prophecy in the premiere.
