See where all the problem lies? If a person can stay alive even without a body (like Marianne) then why not Lelouch? He was only stabbed in the heart.
Orange is a cyborg (and before that survived only one actual defeat), so his survival of pretty much anything is justified. Guilford, who I assume you're referring to as the "knight who survived an entire FLEIJA explosion", was on the outer edge of the blast. One could easily make the case that he ejected or crashed after the comm traffic went dead. Marianne had her soul-transfer Geass. Bit of an ass-pull so late into the season, but it does make sense for her to have tricked her way out of death.

Lelouch didn't have any of these benefits. He died in public, run through with a sword with nothing to save him. In other words, while the plot made allowances to save others, it went out of its way to kill him.
