What is Lara's problem? [PT Spoilers!]

Of course she does, nothing went her way, she isn't thinking. I also think she felt a bit humiliated by what happened to her. She wasn't prepared for the complete control a Warden of the island would have over her on that ground. Lara is used to always getting the upper hand, a humiliated vampire is a dangerous one.. Remember Harry said that Lara gave him very much the same look Bianca did when she realized she wasn't going to win against Harry.
Arjan:
Monsters don’t like to feel helpless.

She didn't know about the island (and may have thought that Thomas was dead - it probably looked like Harry was sacrificing him.)
But my point is that even without Demonreach, attacking Harry that way is pretty unlikely to work out for her. She charged him with a knife drawn; he had time to react. Without Demonreach, he could have just destroyed her with a big blast of magic. Harry ten books ago when he first met Lara might have been slow enough for that sort of thing to work; but even then I doubt it. Harry the Winter Knight as of PT, basically no chance.
We saw in WN just how badly suited the White Court is to direct conflict with powerful supernatural beings. Harry and Carlos are blasting uberghouls left and right, and the White Court are pretty helpless against them.

Unless, somewhere along the way she made the same deal her father had made. In that case magic cannot kill her. You will notice that the island buried her in the ground up to her neck so she couldn't move, it didn't try to disarm her or kill her by magic.
Bacail:
I don't think Lara knew the purpose of the island. Keep in mind that most people don't know, including the late Summer Lady. All Lara saw was her brother being magiked into nothingness. If Lara had known beforehand, she might not have let him go to the island in the first place. Just an observation.
