Actually there is a statement in the last sentence of the RI 22.1C which allows removal of the term whenever the heading is changed for some other reason. It's labeled LC practice, but I don't think that would prohibit a NACO cataloger from removing the term when adding a death date for instance.

The rules for British terms of honor were changed quite a few years ago 
now (Amendments 2001).  See rule 22.1C and, particularly, LCRI 22.1C.
Terms of honor are only retained if they are needed to resolve a conflict.

I don't explicitly see any documentation that says to remove these terms 
on existing headings when they are revised (provided there is no 
conflict).  Perhaps this should be the subject of an FAQ question?
