I knew I've read it somewhere faaar back, somehow it stuck. It took some digging but here is the quote:

Of course it has an effect (unless some bug has appeared). The white one might reincarnate, in name and body (although the body might be a lesser or greater one, dependent on the karma of the white one). Or become one with the awakening god, increasing dominion.
"Increasing dominion" would probably mean "dominion is increased in the province" instead of permanent increase in the dominion spread mechanics. If that's your only source, Dedas, I very much doubt the guru death works as you said it would.

* Version 3.10
* Guru reincarnation bug fixed.
I think the '[][][][][][][] has been reincarnated' bug has been fixed.
