@1st AWC: Just because the Lost Sinner drops the Old Witch Soul, doesn't necessarily make her the Witch of Izalith. After all, the player does obtain the Old Witch Soul as well, do they not? But does this make them the Witch of Izalith? No.

We should also consider another receiver of an Old One's soul. The Duke's Dear Freja drops the Old Paledrake Soul upon death in NG+. Think about this for a moment: a spider drops Seath's soul. Thus, like the second AWC said, it's most likely that the Old Ones' souls are so powerful that they cannot cease to be, and the remnants can be pass on from one being to another.
