Meh. If there were Daleks that avoided the situation, so could the Rani.
Sure, but that wasn't quite what I meant. Back just before the Master was reintroduced, the Doctor commented that he knew he was the only survivor because he would have sensed if there had been another. They got around that for the Master by the use of the Chameleon Arch - effectively, the Master wasn't a Time Lord until Martha talked him into looking into his watch.
So if the Rani had escaped the destruction of Gallifrey but was still out there, the Doctor should have sensed her.
Having said all that...
So, say the Rani was not on Gallifrey when the Doctor zapped the planet away? She would still have been trapped behind the time lock on events (thus explaining why she hasn't shown up before). But now, that time lock is gone - everyone remembers what Time Lords are, as is clear from the siege of Trenzalore. That means anyone not on Gallifrey at the end of the Time War is now free to roam...
Yep, this makes sense.
