And when Pope Benedict XVI rules that Pope John Paul II's interpretation of canon law was in error, that in reality Archbishop Lefebvre, and the other bishops, by their actions had not "excommunicated" themselves* are you going to survive?

It's going to happen, sooner or later, I hope you don't have a breakdown.

If memory serves me, it was Prefect of the CDF Cardinal Ratzinger's interpretation of canon law that was involved more directly than JPII's. I suppose Benedict could declare Ratzinger to have erred, but I'm not holding my breath. If he does, I won't jump off a cliff--if a pope wants to declare himself to have erred in his prepapal decisions, it's a mark of humility, but I'm not sitting on a mountain waiting for it to happen.
