You'll have to re-invite her from Users -> Invite New in your blog's Dashboard.

Please note that Followers are email subscribers, which is why it's an option.

She entered her email address and invited herself while I was signed in as admin, but she neglected to change the default setting to Author. This is a mistake I too have made in the past.

There should not be a Follower option in Invite Users, let alone as default, if it is not going to show up in All Users, where the role can be changed.

How can this defect in the UI be entered into the bug database?
