The idea is that she isn't getting a salary, just merely "reimbursed" for her work.

hmm. My feeling is that this may possibly be perfectly legal based on loopholes, but its really complex and I believe it to be unethical. The savings must really be there for them to spend all this time working out this plan, but she must be party to a very complex and I believe very fragile arrangement where if ANYTHING goes wrong, shes the one who's screwed.
Who does she complain to if by this shady agreement the company suddenly starts putting less reimbursement in her account? If its called a reimbursement, whats to stop them from truly auditing her actual living costs, and paying ONLY for them at some future point, while she is still a free employee for them and in a different country?
What is her medical coverage during this period? If shes not getting a salary, does she then become classified as a "temp", or a "volunteer"?
I think any contract must be reviewed with a fine tooth comb by her own lawyer, but I think id pass as this sounds good when you say it fast, but her personal arrangements and her employment would have become hopelessly entangled. Id stay away from it
