I didn't say it was important - Edit 1

At least since day 774 (according to the WoT chronology). That they apparently still didn't Travel to the WT till day 802 (the epilogue with Egwene), leads me to believe that they might stay longer in Caemlyn. I also don't really see why a meeting with Seta, Bethamin or Egeanin should be such important for Egwene.
I'm saying, who cares if she has to meet Seanchan? It could just be Bethamin and Seta. It doesn't mean the author has to set up an entire scenario where the bad Seanchan attack/kidnap/whatever and she's in trouble.
And if it's not important, then Egwene wouldn't have thought about it in her 5 pages of Epilogue.
(I think she would have thought about it though, because seeing Seta again is important. So I agree with you that they're still in Caemlyn
)
