This detail certainly sticks out like a sore thumb. But, even if Vader did sense Leia's natural connection to the Force, what exactly should his reaction be? If every living being is made up of the Force, then every being right down to even the clumsiest Stormtrooper would be putting out vibes through the Force, some likely putting out a stronger vibe than others. So, while Leia would no doubt be putting out stronger vibes than most, I don't see why Vader should take particular interest in her based simply because of that. It doesn't seem that simply being Force sensitive is enough to catch the attention of Vader or Sidious, especially since the Jedi have dwindled to almost nothing. Certainly, they took interest of Obi-Wan and Luke, but only because they were utilizing the Force and sending out powerful tremors. In Leia's case, though she is an intense Force sensitive, there's no actual application or utilization of the Force going on, so there's no real reason why Vader should have to entertain her Force sensitivity, if he could have sensed it at all.

Ask Ush... he's has some very set ideas about that. He doesn't believe it's the Force he sense, that Vader uses it as a metaphor. I don't buy that really...
Maybe tremors in the Force can be felt... maybe it was the ghost of OB1 Vader sensed... who knows.
Ush never comes around here, anymore. How does Vader use it as a metaphor...?
Tremors would make sense, they've been used throughout Star Wars (purging of the Jedi, Alderaan destroyed, etc. were all felt by Jedi around the galaxy).
