I don't know if we can say that women in the show can't sense the ability in other women. I think we just don't know either way if that 'sisterly affection' persists. I bet the way that the seanchan find channelers will reveal the truth of it either way.
In the books, Nyn had been channeling healing weaves as wisdom for some time, so she was sensed by Moiraine upon her arrival in the two rivers, but I thought in the show that her first bout of channeling was in Logain's cave, but I'm not sure if thats true or not. Nyn described a time when Egwene had that bone break fever and suddenly 'recovered' - which may have been Nyn healing her. When Moraine said she "suspected" Nyn was a channeler it could be based on stories about Nyn or an innate feeling of 'familiarity' she sensed in another channeler. Anyway there's no way to know either way. Or maybe they didn't actually care about these levels of 'rules' like we do - lol.
I agree that Rand wasn't actively channeling during that scene, so maybe Logain was given Siuan's talent of 'seeing ta'vern' which is described as a glow that correlates with the strength of the ta'veren. But Logain seemed certain that he was sensing another channeler. so I suspect that instead that moment was a device to build some tension in the show.
