Even if it was months ago, it seems as though she remembers it well and so, she's blown up when she see's it happen again. I agree the tone of your message is light-hearted, but if she has to reason to believe you don't wanna spend time with her anyway then it's maybe a little more understandable that she would take it seriously.
Plus you'll probably find that as far as she is concerned, there are two occasions you have said something about her that she knows of. Maybe an explanation that you were joking and offering her an opt out of an otherwise awkward situation on her part would be the best thing? Not even necessarily for her, or you, but for your friend.
