In the books, Melisandre is wrong in her visions sometimes (or just misinterprets them), and this appears to be the case with Stannis being AA. In Melisandre's POV chapter in ADWD, she complains to herself that she asks to see Azor Ahai, and all Rhollor shows her is "Snow" (with a capital S). This is one of the reasons people think Jon is really AA. The way that Night King guy was eyeballing Jon in the last episode, I'm thinking Jon must be AA.

Doesn't she also admit to being full of shit on occasion? I think it was when describing the glamour on rattleshirt.
She acknowledges that she keeps powders/potions on her to make her appear more mysterious than she is. I believe I recall her acknowledging that she's running out of one of them (maybe the thing for the flaming sword). She brought a bunch of crap with her in a suitcase from Asshai, yes?
In either event, I'm inclined to agree that she's just mis-reading the tea leaves here. She's not as all-seeing/all-knowing as the show would have us believe, IMO.
She can do some crazy stuff, but she's not beyond reproach.
