Trickler is a petty sorcerer who isn't powerful enough to keep his master from abusing him yet we are to believe that he is capable of casting a spell so powerful that Merlin, aka. the most powerful warlock ever, can't put a dent in it. That seems implausible, at best.

Maybe a kiss from anybody who wasn't Vivian would have broken the spell but it amused Kilgharrah to nudge Uther's son in the direction of marriage with a servant, and he could guess that, if Merlin believed that he had proof that Guinevere was Arthur's true love, he would be determined to see to it that they were able to be together. If I'm completely honest, I take pretty much everything Kilgharrah says with a pinch of salt- he was always very self-serving, so I don't have much faith in anything he said

So yeah, I think your theory makes sense
