In addition, the fact she was talking openly with Genji and Nanjo, and the fact she was told about this injury makes me believe it took place some time after Kinzo's death.

Actually, in that red guts scene, we don't see Yasu at all, just Genji and Nanjo.

This would mean telling an elementary-age girl that she has to act like a boy, and hope that she not only decides to play along, but never slips up or tells anyone your secret. That would be an incredible risk. In other words, if Genji is scheming something, he can't let Yasu in on the scheme until she's a bit older and comfortable living on the island. And he'd have to let her in on some secret to convince her that she was born a boy.

That's not exactly what Kinzo says though. He says that Yasu reminds him of 'that mother and daughter', or Beatrice 1 and Beatrice 2. Genji does once say "she solved the epitaph all by herself" before Kinzo tells Lion that she's his child, but every other line in that section refers to Lion as 'the child', not the son or daughter. While Beatrice 2 is referred to as Beatrice 1's daughter.
