I think the idea is that Ikki's little slip of the tongue regarding Korra liking Mako likely is causing Asami to become a bit insecure about her relationship with Mako, to the point where she might start seeing signs of Mako reciprocating when they might not even be there. Granted Mako DOES like Korra as more than a friend, but the scene in the tunnel was not indicative of that, but Asami is still seeing more into it than she normally would given what she was told recently.

The scene was still somewhat awkwardly handled though, I agree, but I think that's what the writers were going for here. Simply put, her relationship with Mako is being strained now that she knows that Korra likes him, which will start to cause her to see "Hints" of Makorra everywhere. I can almost guarantee you that if Ikki had never spilled the beans about Korra liking Mako, Asami would not be the slightest bit concerned about this (at least until the end of the episode, kind of hard to miss THAT sign).
