Yep. I agree that the non-killing of Spike in S4 is completely consistent with the Scoobies' (and Buffy's) past behavior.
...though I think Buffy should have killed him in S5 after Out of My Mind when he proved he could still be a threat despite the chip. However, I can fanwank that away by saying she was too preoccupied with her mother to bother.
