I think that would work - stem length obviously a major factor though in the top tube sizing but I doubt the stem would have to be so short as to make for a twitchy ride. I think also it would depend on her proportions in the leg department - I'm a similar height and go for 53/54 seat tube meself (depending on bb height) but not sure how much difference a 52 would really make - maybe a bit more stem showing.
If it is the Olmo on Hilary's site, c'mon it's not that pricey - might as well try it out.
