I believe the resonance from transfiguration is shown to be very minor, for whatever reason.
When Harry has to transfigure Voldemort himself, not just contact him with transfigured material, it is only mildly uncomfortable.
It is not incomprehensible that a much, much lesser contact could escape any notice at all until at very close range.
