As I don't know FF and you don't know the example I'd make, I'll just say in general: if the death was well-done, well-timed, and well-characterized, then it's disrespectful, as it were, to make an end run around it. (Particularly in a resurrection fic per se; AU's are more free to play around without messing things up, as it's not really canon as we know it anyway.) But if, in canon, it was kinda botched, not done particularly well, or especially if the death reeked of the writers getting a character out of the way for one reason or the other that had nothing to do with the actual story...then go for it. I say this because I've written a resurrection fic myself, albeit with some guilt--started writing it because the idea came insistently to me, because that's how I worked, but continued writing it (still haven't finished -.-;;;) because I realized that it allowed me to get right at the heart of a moral and characterization dilemma that the writers had chickened out of by killing off the character, which they did for a combination of story/continuity reasons and a moment of rather badly played tragedy.
