Neri:
It's not merely resolvable, it's practically foretold: "and either
must die by the hand of the other." It will also solve the problem of
how will Harry kill Voldemort without becoming a murderer. If they
both fall unintentionally while struggling it doesn't count.

There are even good reasons for them to physically struggle instead of
using magic. First there's the brother wand issue. Secondly, imagine
Harry telling Voldemort that he'd destroyed all his Horcruxes except
for the soul bit that is stuck inside Harry. Voldemort would hesitate:
if he kills Harry now he's back to mortal with no Horcruxes at all. A
second or two of hesitation would be enough for Harry to charge. He
already did that to Sirius in the Shrieking Shack. 

Of course, falling together beyond the veil in the DoM is somewhat
more probable than the Reichenbach Falls. And I fully expect Harry to
appear alive on the other side, since he has more than one soul in
him, so the Voldemort soul bit would die and Harry would emerge only
with his own soul. See, it's not unresolvable at all (not even
irresolvable). Tomorrow we'll take on world peace.
