After looking through the disk and turning up character models for all the main characters as well as main Summons and weapons, the site discovered a character model for Oerba Dia Vanille, and she does not appear to be wearing clothing.
http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/9/2010/01/500x_9ab515f2.jpg MADOKA Park! confirmed with a friend who had cleared the game that no Vanille scenes that would use a model like this appeared in the game, leaving the site to wonder if this is a test model and to burst out laughing.
*SPOILER*
However, as it has been pointed out, there is a scene where Vanille transforms from a crystal back into a human. She is naked (but covered) during the transformation. This, it seems, would be the character model for said scene.
*SPOILER*
Everything makes sense!
