I would assume, that in an unseen (to us, the viewers) part of the lie detector test, they had to have asked if she knew Bethany.

To be fair, Ali sort of lied about knowing Bethany. In 5x05 when they are all in Emily's house, gathered around the TV and the police announce that the girl in the grave is Bethany Young. It's pretty clear that the other four have no idea who Bethany is (why would they, from Ali's point of view). Ali said nothing. That's pretty much a lie right there. She knows that it's relevant information but she chooses not to tell anyone.

Now maybe she had a great reason for lying about it/not saying anything.

I do really like Alison; but I can't blame the liars for going behind her back either. Alison obviously has her own set of plans to avoid A / eventually catch A that she doesn't want the girls in on. Which, I can't blame Ali, after all she has been through I wouldn't trust anyone either, especially not four girls who will each tell their boyfriends and possibly mess up the plan. At the same time, since Ali is lying/ acting shady to preserve her plan, I can't really blame the Liars for going behind her back either.
