The background in the databooks does say that Nanao is a kidou master. It could just be that Nanao's strengths are very different from Lisa's. (I need more data!)
Like you, I would love it if this plot thread got some resolution.
Earlier, when we saw the big spread of all the Captains, before the flashback started, I noticed that Nanao _wasn't_ there. I theorised that she'd been left behind to take charge of Seireitai -- because, well, someone has to be in charge of the place, especially with the 46 gone. I'm not sure whether to interpret that as Shunsui trusting her on her own, or Shunsui not wanting her near the action, or both. (Though Nanao's own capabilities seem to rate high in terms of organisation and admin, which makes her a sensible choice in any case.)
