But the second opinion rejects that approach, and insists that her
disfigurement wasn't some mere skin outbreak, but a supernatural
event, one that requires the instrumentality of Malach Gavriel;
perhaps the reason why this was necessary was to drive home to her
that she hadn't merely suffered from bad luck, but was being
punished for her misdeeds.  >>

I repeat my previous question - what forced Chazal to assume Vashti has sins and
was evil. This is not pshat in the pesukim. Again, in accordance with the Malbim
(and R.Boubil) it could have been just political intrigue.
