Way back in "Nocturne" she got upset with Clark for trying to help Byron without including her. To me, Lana's comments were odd because the status of their relationship is irrelevant to their lack of communication during this episode.

"What's her deal? I thought they were broken up?"
I think that whole conversation was poorly constructed. It was a classic "float" scene, where the writers have some future target "event" in mind (like them breaking up for good in a few episodes, maybe) and they need a scene with the two of them together, but where nothing concrete happens, and there is no hint of resolution in sight. Hence, the "float".
I've defended Lana's actions in this episode plenty before this, so I won't bother again here. But this conversation was more about them as a couple than it was about Chloe anyway. It would probably do them some good to focus on something other than them as a couple, but that would lead to some resolutions, and they (the writers) aren't ready for that to happen just yet. Just a very awkward scene all the way around.
