Well, more like Reimu had hoped and expected to partner up with Marisa, and she would have liked to because she thinks she and Marisa would be unstoppable. It's a cute little sentiment. Not outright yuri, no, but it shows that she respects and admires Marisa to the point that if she had a choice, she'd pick her first.

This is completely consistent with the manga. The two have one of the deepest platonic-almost-romantic friendships in all of fiction. In fact I could've sworn I read somewhere that game mechanics aside, the two are generally said to work side by side during most incidents where they're not in direct competition.
