I think the word "No" here is very important. He's was going to do the first THEN changed his mind. So the lines are basically reversed.

So, it becomes "First I'll save her, then I'll kill her". Saves her from burning up, then kills her with the relationship because she can't allow herself to love him as he is now. But if Spike is somehow transformed that Spike will become essentially another being (at least for Buffy, like Angel is not Angelus although they inhabit the same body) hence the "he'll kill her" an action that has happened and the transformed Spike will now save her.
