That's true. However, as we have seen, Gold/Rumples is able to alter records (video recordings anyways, but if he can do video editing magically, then altering written documents would be doable). As the author of the dark curse, I pretty sure he could add all sorts of loopholes and backdoors to the curse.

Also consider this, if the Snow Queen could of gone to the LWM by other means, why did Rumples go through all that complicated effort of the dark curse and not go himself by the same means the Snow Queen took?
