I think you have handled this very responsibly and under the circumstances, with tact. You love your husband and naturally that would mean wanting to love your SD too. However, I guess respect needs to be earned. I dont quite know how you might let the issues sink into the shadows and support your husband at the same time. Not an easy balance. I wish I could offer some sound advice.
One thing that touched me was that her father does not take it 'further' with her as she starts crying. I am going through something similar with my SD. She has her father wrapped around every possible finger and toe. She can do no wrong. If, (a really big if) her father should try to reprimand her, she throws herself into his arms sobbing that she loves him!
My son is constantly in trouble because of her and her attitude, even when he is just absolutely not at fault. She is spoilt, has an attitude of a divah and the emotional ways of a very clever lady!She is 4 years old.
