If you can't do that with a guest, well... maybe it could be done if she was presented as an inventory item, or its identity changed to such, to get rid of this bug.

I don't believe you
actually left her on a planet. It may have seemed like it at the moment, but she
was using hypnotic mind-control powers on you at the time,
right? So you may think you left her on a planet somewhere, but either you didn't actually, or else being left there was all part of her plan for galactic domination.
It's been several months since I've done any WW modding, but if I recall correctly, there's no way to prevent someone from removing an object from their cargo hold. Doesn't matter if it's a passenger or an item. If I put the flag on it that prevents you from selling the item (like the Klakar Miracle Cream in Phlagm's mod, for example), you can still dump it on an uninhabited planet. That's always going to be a possibility.
There's also no way to reliably make an event trigger based on dumping an item in this way. The game has no way to detect if an item has been added to a planet, and no way to remove an item from a planet. Once it's left your ship, the game can't do anything with it until/unless you pick it up again.
So, the choice then for the mod designer is whether the player should be able to get free easily and automatically, or if they should have to work to get rid of the danger. I chose to go with the more challenging route. Let's face it, if a possible solution is dumping her on the very planet you found her on, within seconds of falling under her spell, that's not much of a challenge (nor much of a spell).
Once you've fallen under her sway, there are at least three ways to escape it, and offloading her at a random planet is
not one of them.
