I don't notice any difference with 650B from 700 other than the massive amount of extra drag from doubling the tyre width. Stem length is definitely a factor in "twitch" but you get used to it pretty quickly. My Inbred has gone 110mm to 50mm to I think it's 80 or 85mm on it at the moment. After a couple of rides I forget the difference.

It could be as simple as that, but I don't know enough about bike geo to discount the wheels being a factor.
@oheyitsdrew I don't really know- she's not really the type of cyclist to draw conclusions on bike feel so I'm mostly guessing. She's not massively in love with the bike though but that could just be because it was second hand.
