For the first part I considered it a coincidence, but now tend to think of it as either a purposeful ambiguity, like Koyomi's harem-building power, in other words it might actually be an ability/curse or plot-driving coincidence or as you suggest simple reality escapism.

Well, I left it ambiguous intentionally. "Thinking" could be considered a kind of ability, especially if other people don't have it. As you say though, it could also be something a bit more mysterious.

Most of it comes from Black Hanekawa in episode 15 of Bake.

Maybe because Araragi kept meeting girls with supernatural problems?

Well, yes? I was implying that the fact that he keeps having these encounters is why she likes to talk to him. At least partially. She's a bit complicated.

It doesn't really matter if it was real or not. She was still going to help Araragi's sisters.

It does matter to Karen. Because now she's dying and all. The fact that she was going to help anyway is exactly the problem. That's why she needs to be more aware of her own strength.
