Has anyone considered that the woman might be telling the Truth?
Assuming OP's words can be trusted, that doesn't seem to be likely. 

But maybe this is calumny and some people want to showcase that woman as insane in order to diminish the value of her testimonies, she could have offended someone powerful as an example. She could be a victim of harrassment and calumny by some people who could be exaggerating about her.

But, if such is the case, the people complicit in this cannot escape God's wrath, it would be extremely foolish for them to do so.

I have read about BPD and have struggled to understand precisely what it is, then I did some digging and found that a textbook example can be found in the film Fatal Attraction.  There are a couple of brief implied sex scenes (they really don't "show anything"), and a fleeting moment of partial dishabille in Alex, the woman with BPD, but aside from that, the movie is inoffensive, and portrays exactly what the disorder looks like, albeit in a very violent, disturbing way.

OP here-- am a man, by the way. Got looped into this problem because some male friends of mine keep receiving antagonistic messages from the woman at odd hours of the night. 

As far as the woman telling the truth, she is not. Whether this is because her perception of reality is profoundly distorted but sincere, or because she is genuinely delusional, or even just plain wicked, is quite difficult to tell.

The problem is not merely that she is not telling the truth, but that she enflames serious drama with untruths. If she were just some casual teller of tales for the sake of entertainment or jocoseness, there would be no issue. She makes claims about how other people are treating her, and her family, which are demonstrably false and then accelerates in demanding justice when people do not admit to the lies. 

The family has attended our church off and on for a few years. Any time they are "off" it is because of some drama like I've described. Then eventually they come back, things seem ok for a bit, then the drama re-asserts itself.

Once again, we are assuming the thing that needs to be proved.

Some person on the internet  -- *claims* -- that a woman at her church has BPD.  The OP has essentially made herself himself a guru, a doctor, and a self-styled expert throwing down the gauntlet that another woman at her church "has" BPD.

Meanwhile, from the description, the woman in question at the church has acted apparently erratically -- which is a sign of trauma -- and has made accusations that others have possibly violated her.   

In justice, it is at least important to consider that the woman's claims might be true, an to investigate.     In justice, it is important to consider that the woman's behavior *might* be consistent with someone who has been violated or traumatized, and give the woman every possible benefit of every possible doubt.  In justice, it is important that the woman's claims be properly and officially investigated. 

NOT to go on the internet and "give her (a) non-expert label" and start a thread with people then speculating as to woman's status as head case.

Very reasonable reflections, thank you for sharing them here.
