There's a case to be made that the Cybermen played Ianto from the start. Why design her woman shaped? Why leave her face showing? If cybermen understand and exploit emotion, if they knew Lisa was pair bonded, if they had Ianto standing right there trying to save her? Hello trojan.
Wasn't it mentioned somewhere that her transition from human to Cyberwoman was just incomplete, as if it had been interrupted mid-session? Because that would totally make sense to me. I assume that Cybermen are man/machine hybrids - a little bit like the Dalek with the weird little alien inside the metal hull (as seen in that DW episode, can't remember the name of it).
It's plausible that Ianto would have found her; after all, the Cybermen did bring all the humans in TW One to one place to convert them into Cybermen. He found Lisa, saw that she was not yet a Cyberwoman, meaning that in his eyes, she was still human and he could save her.
Her Baywatch-esque TerminatorCyberwoman outfit was probably a result of testosterone. That's the problem with television - visual aspects are important for the look and appeal of a show/movie, but they don't necessarily reflect the intended character traits.
