The first curse from the EF turned her to Storybrooke in the form of a dragon. It turned Jiminy into a human, and the dwarves and fairies into humans. The dragon was killed/slayed, but Maleficent still existed in a different form/forms.

Undoing the curse turned Jiminy back into a cricket, and the 'dwarves' back to dwarves, and I think the nuns/church-women are fairies again. So if you explain it like that, Maleficent would be human again. At least that's what I think (/hope).
