True Love kiss can break any curse, even one where it makes them love someone else. Rumple's curse was breaking, but he stopped when he realized what she was doing. A&E like to say magic is different in Storybrooke, but nothing seems to be different, Cora and Zelena didn't have to adjust, and true love's kiss works as normal. I think it's because Rumple keeps holding on to power. Now, if he kissed Bae on the forehead after he was resurrected I'm sure his curse would break since he gave the dagger up for Bae. Belle, not so much.
