I've connected enough from one Skyteam partner to Delta at AMS or CDG to verify that the on-going boarding passes do not work, and one must re-check in at connection counter airside at CDG.
Girl was probably not checked-in despite holding a boarding pass. Delta is responsible. Pursue EU-261. An oversell is not required.
I've never has a problem with AF or KLM connections to DL resulting in the boarding passes printed at the outstation or printed during OLCI on the AF/KLM websites not being valid to board my DL flights. In some cases the intraEU flights were DL codeshares but not always.
