Mmm. 

Just supossing for a moment your theory is correct, it isn't ruled out by 
Harry destroying on his own the fragment and not paying for it.

See, I think the link between LV and Harry makes the trick. Marking him as his 
equal gave Harry the rights to play with LV soul. He interlaced destinies, 
powers, minds, wands, and all the blablabla. Having Harry's blood in his 
veins can't be bad for this, also. Nice gleam.

If LV intention was to make a Horthingy of Harry, it's a nice backfire. He 
didn't get the baby but gave him the power to destroy LV stored parts without 
paying the price others do. That's a power the Dark Lord knows not, because, 
at the risk of being crude, he knows perfectly well Harry's 'saving thing' 
and 'loving'. Just ignores it. 

I doubt the mental connection is giving LV too much to worry about, either. 
But if Harry can stablish a connection with his Horxs, as he did with the 
wands, that's a problem. 

I just don't think destroying or reabsorbing your own horcruxes will kill you, 
it would go against the purpose of the thing. If the fragments are yours, you 
can dispose of them. With Harry works that way.

Maybe a blood sacrifice is all you need (just because it suits LV tastes), 
Harry was bleeding IIRC and I'm not movie-contaminated, when he destroyed 
TR's Diary. Can also consider the basilisk death as sacrificial.

Not that I have canon to support it, but I doubt I had canon to defend (not 
just speculate) the existence of Horx before HBP, I'm just retelling a story 
device that can be used here.
