That if you die in TAR, your soul is basically already closer to the soul pool/the Wheel. Thus, the DO usually can't snatch it in time. I think we also never saw a corruption of TAR, like the real world is corrupted by the DO.
In any case, if a TAR death can be one of those limits for transmigration, which BS and RJ didn't want to tell yet, it will likely be revealed in the next books.

Then again, it could be said that if you died in TAR, you soul is in a neutral place akin to limbo or purgatory, and you might actually be further away from the soul pool. It really can go either way. I think we did see a corruption of TAR - it started out as being a place with unseen eyes looking at you, but towards the middle of the series, the characters started remarking that it seemed threatening and made them nervous. As a reflection of the real world, it seems likely to me that as the Dark Ones' touch on the real world grew, so would It's influence over T'A'R and that would feed on itself making It more powerful in both realms.
