On a similar note, it doesn't appear like she went to the concert to actually stop it, she even left after the teachers stopped it and returned when she heard the music. I had the impression that she tried to understand what's so fun about it. This would imply she knows that overcoming your past and accepting yourself is the key to moving on (she didn't look very surprised when Iwasara disappeared), but cannot do it on her own for herself or doesn't want to (possible reason: helping Yuri's group move on by having them lead a "normal" life [would fit the Seitokaichou image], actively fighting their rebellion is just not the smartest way to do it. Go tell her that, Otonashi!).
No, she's not obsessed with order imo. Tenshi was in the dilemma that most people who enforce rules are. The concert wasn't suppose to happen but it's not like the concert is going to hurt anyone. In fact, the concert was beneficial for student morale. It was good thing to get them to move on. She made a decision not to take down the posters. (Right decision imo) She came to the concert but she didn't stop it. (Right decision again imo because Iwasawa resolved her issue at the concert, got the students to cry and Iwasawa moved on.)

We might even get a "Listen to my song" moment and more students beside Iwasawa passed on that day.
