As for her "evil twin" that shows up in Alexandria it's either the remains of the original system trying to reinitialise itself using a copy of sphene or another entity entirely using her form to take control of Alexandria for their own ends.

Well I expect we will meet her in some way but did not expect to actually meet her in 7.X directly. However, a interesting note from 7.0 is that....

we never ever see the Real Sphene in the final MSQ dungeon. We are always too far away or too late to actually meet and see the real Sphene so it is possible the real Sphene may have a completely different appearance but personality and values remain the same minus the part she will sacrifice the life of a entire civilization. I suspect part of the reason we are not shown Sphene appearance at the end is maybe because of this apsect about how AI Sphene was made being they may have gotten her peronality but they could not properly remake her appearance.
