I just watched that episode again and the ONLY person from Galatica's crew to "recognize" her was Baltar. None of the Galatica crew ever saw her aside from Baltar.
My memory on that wasn't precise. It wasn't in the episode when Gina arrived as I thought, but I am pretty sure I do remember the scene Klivino mentioned where they had 6's picture on the desk with the other cylon models.

To now come out and say otherwise means that the Six in his head is something far more than an illusion and actually has physical abilities that can manifest themselves in the "real" world outside of Baltars delusions.

I guess that's one way of looking at it, but I don't see it that way. Inner 6 could be simply taking advantage of a situation that she has no actual control over and making it appear to Baltar that she is manipulating things. Much the same way that people will have bad things happen to them and they start to think that God or fate or the world has it in for them. When actually it's just a random occurance, or the consequences of their own bad actions. Baltars psyche is simply more complicated then the normal negative paranoia. Insteaed of thinking to himself, "Why is this happeneing to me." he's got this hot blond only he can see saying, "This is happening to you as a punishment for you lack of faith."
