You're gonna really hate me for this one, but Mei saving Takako wouldn't put her in the Red Herring spot and I'll tell you why. First off before Reiko was outed as the extra by Mei, she was willing to shield Mei from an angry Mob. However that didn't stop Mei from trying to kill Reiko after finding her under the rubble. The second example though is from a movie from a director you don't like. John Carpenter. During his movie The Thing, when they were all overcome with Paranoia over who was the alien, two members of the group ended up helping the others torch the titular monster and keep the others calm on different occasions. This was able to fool the rest of the group and to an extent the audience into thinking that they were human as they thought no alien would betray their own kind like that. Guess how that ended up.

Mei saving Takako, might loosen things up, but it wouldn't completely clear her of suspect.
