And lets not forget that Egwene knows to counter compulsion...

She tells us in CoT that she learned the weave from Moghedien so she could learn how to counter it. This being Egwene, she learned all Moghedien could give, and is very adept at countering it.
Now, you could argue Aran'gar was using saidin, so Egwene has no way of countering it. But the way Egwene spoke of it, it doesn't seem like the counter is to slash the weave as it comes at you (Egwene needs no training to do that). Rather, I think Egwene knows how to detect it in others, and also detect if her thoughts have been interfered with.
Lastly, we know that the subtle compulsions are not very effective when a channeler holds on to the OP. What's the use of a subtle compulsion that tells Egwene to fear male channelers if she won't feel that fear each time she holds the Power?

Except we know Aran'gar was punished in some way for "losing control of her charge"

Yes I know. That's the point we are discussing.

I always thought the headaches were just something Aran'gar did to get close to Egwene

Finding a weave and recognizing the symptoms are different things

No argument that a subtle compulsion would be necessary

Why bother? She's Egwene, and served the Shadow's end of her own free will
