Could be the spy issue, especially if she has self esteem issues.  She
might realize that he is wanting her to spill the beans on Harry and
when she doesn't, he pulls Harry aside and falsely accuses Hermione of
talking about him in an attempt to get them (H&H) to stop working
together.

In a variation of this, she might not realize what he is up to but
really does talk about Harry a lot, but just because Krum says she did
doesn't mean she really does.
