What does it matter who she was? Her actions in the present is what counts.
Better yet we can draw parallels with Kamijou, the core of her personality has not been lost with those memories.

Orsola ran from the Amakusa and they tracked her down. Yes, they had good intentions, but they didn't honor her wishes. Granted it was because she was scared, but kidnapping someone is hardly ethical, even if for a good reason.
Tsuchimikado....do I even have to mention him?
Stiyl has mentioned burning the living to death and the dead to ashes, not to mention he tried roasting Kamijou when they first met. Kaori whupped his butt and he didn't even know her. Acqua actually came the closest to killing him for a while or demanding he cut off his hand when his organization was the one causing the problems (Fiamma liked to play chessmaster, I know).
Walking porn, I mean Orianna and her handler were willing to subvert the entire populace of Academy City's free will to the church because it would make the world a better place. Fukiyose was victimized because of it for one thing, and if it wasn't her it would be another bystander, not to mention Himegami.
Ethics go out the window if they're in the way for magicians. It's why they keep themselves separated and in the dark from regular society. What Birdway is doing is no different than any other magician in terms of ethics.

Essentially nobody's a saint, but are you trying to say that if you're capable of doing so-and-so bad stuff, you're just as likely to do even worse things?
There are some lines people don't cross- your mileage may vary but to say that you should expect the worst from all magicians seem to be taking it a tad bit too far.
