Geesh, isn't is great when your friends push your buttons over and over again. 
It might be connected to culture/tradition, similar to Catholic boys and girls going off to separate schools once they reach puberty and feel the effects of hormones. It might also be a desperate attempt on the part of your friend to keep her daughter from making the same mistakes she did in life. If so, I commend her for trying. 
I'm thankful I had a son and he's already grown, lol. I'm not sure how I'd raise a young girl in today's world. So many of them become pregnant before they have a chance to acquire the skills, wisdom and ways and means to raise a child properly. 
I don't believe this has anything to do with you or your son personally. It would only be an issue if your son wanted a relationship with this girl. If your son isn't interested, I'm sure he's not losing any sleep over her parent's rules to stay away.
I don't really see why this should threaten your friendship. If it's been a long and close one, you could always just chalk it up to knowing your friend is a bit overprotective of her daughter - and your son is simply irresistible.
