Time for me to see how badly my character analysis skills have
rusted...

Sakuya to me feels a little out of character in this whole "angry

at Usagi"

bit.  Usagi did lots of bad things in the past, many of which

Sakuya had to

clean up after and punish Usagi for.  Then something really

horrible

happens, the sort of thing that leaves permanent mental scars on a

little

girl (the kidnapping), Sakuya offs a couple of bad people (not

youmas), and

makes Usagi promise not to tell!!!  She traps a little kid into a

situation

that pits the child against her parents, leaves her no one to turn

to to

deal with said problem, and the Sakuya "heroically" gets herself

thrown

into jail, totally bereaving the kid of anyone to talk to.

<snip speculation about Pluto/evil taint>

You seem to be forgetting one very important detail here.

In the past, Small Lady is just a little girl, who happens to also be
a Sailor Senshi in training. Nobody even knows who her parents *are*
(outside of the Sailor Senshi), she's not a princess (as far as the
public is concerned), and her every action isn't being monitored by
somebody.

In Crystal Tokyo, Small Lady is the Crown Princess, and every aspect
of her life is subject to public scrutiny and criticism. When the
Crown Princess acts like a spoiled brat, it reflects badly on the
entire Royal Family. Add to that her status as a Sailor Senshi, and
her actions reflect badly on the Sailor Senshi as well. 

In Crystal Tokyo, Small Lady isn't just some kid. She's Princess
Tsukino Usagi Small Lady Serenity, as well as Sailor Chibi-Moon. As
such, she can't *afford* to behave the way she does when she's trying
to spring Sakuya out of jail. Sakuya, for her part, did some stuff in
her efforts to *protect* Small Lady that under other circumstances
would have gotten her an execution sentence for treason. She made her
bed, and set out to lie in it, like a responsible, mature
adult...like an ideal Sailor Senshi. When Small Lady's behavior
reflected a completely opposite attitude, it angered Sakuya. Given
Sakuya's mindset, this is all too understandable.
