They didn't intend her to smile. It was a slip in animation - originally Zera was to commit suicide by jumping, instead of simply refusing assistance. This was judged to adult for a Disney movie, though, but they only redid the voice. The scene where she's falling is so fast (and on my tape, blurred) that, until you pointed it out, I never noticed the expression on her face.
