This sounds like something I'd like to know more about. By all means move to the Digest or private email if you prefer, but more details and/or references would be very welcome.

Sadly, the correct answer would *still* be to kill themselves after killing the healer. How many human Humakti would choose the correct answer, and what else they might do beforehand, is a separate question. (Telling the healer to start running and hiding NOW, before going to face the undead hordes, might be an option).
BTW, the tale of Biturian Varosh inlcudes mention of a Humakti who'd been made into Undead.

"Eye-whisper said he detected the ragged ghost of Alain, sword of Humakt, plaguing the consciousness of the healer. I recalled that Humakti had prepared an expedition against broos active in the Sog's Ruins. The mere thought of a foe which could make a Humakti Rune Lord remain as an undead did chill me to my soul."
