Yeah, but what Buffy knows about him is that all the other vampires are scared of him (scary things being scared is a bad sign), he's trying to break free and when he does it will open the Hellmouth and be all apocalyptic, and she's eventually probably going to have to take him on.
Also, if we take the events of the film as vaguely canon - though actually according to Joss what we can take as canon from the film is now a comic called Origin - she has come up against an old and powerful vampire with minions before and because of that lost her first Watcher. So knowing there is another vamp leader out there wanting to rise and kill everyone would likely wig her out even more.
(Just had a thought as well - isn't the Master in the first nightmare she has in episode 1? And in these dreams she still hasn't ever seen him in reality, so she knows what he looks like already without ever having met him. Not really important, it just occurred to me.)
