The way I've been interpreting it (and Gryphon may correct me) is that Force manipulation works on a somewhat different principle than esper talents. It's different enough that a comprehensive scan, medical or telepathic, for psi talent will not detect Force-using capacity.

Any Force user with minimal training in control and sensitivity will pick up psi-based telepathic scans or communication as part of their increased awareness. In theory the same might be true of Katsujinkenryuu students like Gryphon and Kaitlyn, as the form is partly derived from Jedi Force training. Advanced training, or training for those whose Force talents are skewed towards hightened senses, includes means of blocking telepathic attacks and even turning them back upon themselves.

It's probably a good thing for the Psi Corps that there are so -few- trained Force users in the known galaxy. Someone trained and talented in -both- exper and Force talents would be a great force to reckon with...
