There was a reason why it was a huge spoiler tag. It was enter at your own risk!
But, yeah... Marion wouldn't die. She just to awesome too. Lucas would have only read novels or at least, the synopsis once before being ok with publication. Perhaps McCoy intended to make it dubious as to whether the curse was lifted or not, with the way the trilogy is. I like to think that was lifted because of what happened when he returned the skull. Also to use the curse to explain Indy's love life, not quite settling down in fear of the curse happening again. So it was lifted but Indy was just not sure of himself and decided not to endanger anyone. However, Marion seems to have been quite lucky. She was believed to be dead in Raiders and survived (same with Indy ala LC), so it seems she is about as easy to kill as Indy, which really isn't that easy at all.
