I think it has to do with Desmond being the key. Whatever it was with him he was the only one that could withstand going "into the light". I think that is what Widmore was doing with him with the electromagnetic testing.
So Desmond removed the plug thing allowing the smoke dude to be killed, but also destroying the island. When Jack went down the light wasn't technically on, he turned it back on, and saved the island in the process.
As for him lying in the light pool thing after he replaced the plug....I don't know why that didn't do anything to him....maybe that is what killed him, not the stab wound.
Just guesses
