Why not indeed? There are several good justifications for it, including this column at tuxedounmasked.com (which you pointed me at a couple weeks ago). Whether Minako spent only five months in England or a goodly chunk of her childhood, either way, she would get far more exposure to Estuary than RP or cockney, so it's only reasonable that's what she'd end up sounding like.
