Hmm, you've got me there. How about this though: Even if Dumbledore 
recognized the trace there would still have to be some evidence in part or in 
full that the prediction was real. In the case of the "Dark Lord rising with 
the aid of his servant' prediction, Wormtail did escape and was (or at least 
Dumbledore might've assumed he was at the time) returning to Voldemort. So 
what I said still goes before, except I'm adding that the prediction may have 
only come true in part so far, which is why Dumbledore would call it 
accurate. 

This would work better than the 'seeing her go into the trance' theory, I 
think, because we don't know that he saw her go into the trance. And it works 
if he did see her go into the trance. ^^

the Prophet ^^~
