Yeah, I can imagine it was simply a matter of Pull not being as polished as they would have preferred when it came time to roll out KoD. Also, the exact mechanic within the canon-story by which Marked individuals gain and lose their powers using runes and such is still a little unclear, as it could very well diverge from our gameplay perspective of the matter.

Also, as to your theory hypothesis in regards to emotional stress, I would contest it on the basis that Corvo lost none of his abilities after being betrayed, poisoned, and dumped in the river by his former allies prior to the Flooded District.
