Oh, I quite firmly believe she is. But much like Agatha Heterodyne, Virginia didn’t break through into madness, but rather eased through. So she never went on a frothing rampage, like Dave did when he went Mad.
Look, there’s a difference between being a Mad Scientist and being a scientist who happens to be mad. What, in theory, shows her not to be Mad, or at least pre-breakthrough, is that her science can be understood and reproduced by others who aren’t.

But the fact that to our knowledge she hasn’t engaged in any mad science strongly suggests that she isn’t a mad scientist.
The fact that she so easily comprehends Mad science suggests that she is.
