Here are Lun's notes from RM2K on that scene:

Things draw to a close, the birds of the
air eating the one who once fed them
Some of the more obvious
symbolism I've used, but good

What Lun describes is what makes that scene feel like it has a different kind of meaning than when Lilah was stoned to death. When the Guided stoned her to death, it was simple human ignorance and hatred of those that are different that killed her. When the birds that she fed in life start eating her, it says that not even the forces of nature can keep themselves from ravaging her body, instead of simply letting her corpse rot in peace, amidst the ruins.
Of course, you're right that there could be something more to it than that, but I think the symbolism is all there is to it.

Funnily enough I encountered this a few days after I made that opst but yeh, I'm thinking it's just symbolism as Lun stated. Lun (and fwacho since he did do this story with lun) has a type of casual approach to symbolism that it can be both shocking and wanting to know more... whatever that meant :S
