Just to grab a couple points, because I don't want to get into the whole argument.

That wasn't a heart-to-heart talk.
Definitely an apology, but not more than that.

I would point out that an elevator ride is hardly enough time for more, and it's a matter of fact that any more was interrupted by what happened next. In fact, that's a pretty constant thing with those two. There's a moment, someone ruins it. The only solid moment they had was ruined by Lelouch himself for obvious reasons.

So she's still covering for Lelouch at that point even though she's in a straightjacket on parade as a prisoner to be executed.
As far was we're told, Lelouch hasn't informed Kallen of ZR or that Zero will show up, or what will happen.
Therefore, she's still wagging her tail at Lelouch even though she might get executed by him as far as she knows (nothing in the anime suggests otherwise).

I have to heartily disagree with this assessment, because it's ignoring context. When Suzaku pops up, they take the time to show Kallen being surprised and suddenly realizing the truth. By ignoring this, per your above assessment, you're changing Kallen's entire motivation in the scene.
Tohdoh was in the midst of blurting it out. Kallen stops him because she realizes what Lelouch was trying to do. She isn't wagging her tail, she's understood what he's trying to do and is honoring it.
