In reality, Mio is dishonest about herself. She acts all tough and cool, but deep down inside, she is pretty much still a child at heart (which explains why she comes up with such sugary-sweet lyrics). Also, her Suspiciously Specific Denial in episode 10 ("I'm mot interested in that sorta stuff [love]; light music is sorta like my boyfriend") and some hints in the manga suggest that she cares more about love (or being loved) than she's willing to admit.
If that was what was meant, then your point is well taken. The inference wasn't clear. I see the self denial and internal dishonesty as connected and causal to one another. To me that's one flaw, not two. The way it was worded, it seemed Mio is dishonest to OTHERS about her intentions and may lack ethics. I don't think that's really the case.
