They imply that she is not an empty shell, that she still possesses some semblance of her original identity.

And remember the first scene of the pilot--with Echo (except she was called, I think, Caroline?) sitting across from Ms. Whatsit (the Brit who runs the place). In that scene, it's clear she made a conscious, well-informed decision to put herself in the Dollhouse. Given that, you'd have to say she consented to just about anything her physical person would be subjected to.

From the scene you reference, it seemed more like she had limited choice and was unable to give informed consent.
