I expect it to be that John Simms Master didn't end up in Gallifrey and died/almost died on Earth.
Or that Simm's Master did end up on Gallifrey - but since he was 'saving' the Doctor he expected the Doctor to stop him from ending up going back with Rassilon.
The death could be the body dying on earth, it could be Rassilon killing him, or the fact that at that time Gallifrey was expected to be destroyed. 'You sent me back there to die'.
