I don't view Corvo failing to save Emily as Corvo failing. To reach that ending, you kind of have to be a total asshole to the vast majority of people in the game anyway. It's possible that A: he's gone totally bonkers and has decided that he wants to watch the empire burn, or B: he's decided Dunwall is irredeemable, and that allowing Emily to survive would only make things worse. Of course, option C: (Corvo is incompetent) still exists, but considering he assassinated several incredibly powerful people with very little trouble, I find that hard to believe.
