It's the fact that Homura had to be there and comfort her that's the issue.

That's hardly someone on the brink of completely losing it. I mean, don't get me wrong, Homura certainly was a big help here, but I don't think Madoka would have totally snapped without her.

Madoka was simply mourning given the situation. Who wouldn't, in her shoes
Let me just remind you of Madoka's emotional response to Homura's cheerful "Don't worry, we can still fight Walpurgis together!" line:



This is not the smile of someone who has regained complete control of their mental facilities. This is the smile of someone who is trying to make the best of a situation they know is abysmal, struggling to hide the despair that's eating them alive, and barely hanging on. If you take away Homura from that scene, she doesn't have a crutch to stand on.
