A quick response from Zecora shows that nothing bad occurred. Twilight showed up earlier for some tea, infused with my anti-Scourge-brainwashing medicine, and then left for Town, but she hadn't seen (or heard, amazingly) Fluttershy nor her companions.

Since Fluttershy, Twilight Sparkle and the three younglings are currently loitering around Fluttershy's animal shelter, I have indeed been right in my assessment.

I have this weird nagging feeling, like I'm missing something, but... probably best not to worry about it.
