I don't see a plot problem with the sectum sempra.  Molly Weasley
simply had not studied healing from dark magic
curses enough to know how to fix George's ear. Not a problem. Snape
had studied dark magic healing spells to that extent, and so was able
to heal Draco. Again, not a plot problem. Just a gap in the knowledge
of one magic user, that therefore did not allow the user to heal an
injury when, under the care of another magic user, a healing might
have been possible.  I think we sometimes make to big a deal out of
things that aren't really mistakes or plot holes at all.
