Just my speculation, buy maybe this has something to do with Summer. Beacuse, as Monty stated, the Soul has no limits. I read an interesting theory that compounded Red Like Roses 2 and I May Fall to try and explain what happened to Summer, and the general conclusion was that Summer's sacrifice was also a massively powerful event. If you listin to I May Fall, the lyrics:

"There's a moment that changes a life when

We do something no one else can" 

may speek of Summer - not Ruby or even any of the RWBY team at all (as is the general consensus for the song's meaning). Because the evidence for the moon being a protector seems overwhelming (and I agree with everything that you guys mentioned on the matter), I feel like Summer was impossibly overrun by an army of Grim at her moment of death. I thought that she, maybe, used some of the moon's power to finish the fight, lay waste to the Grim forces, and save Ruby. This should've also taken a huge chunk out of the Moon - literally and figuratively. Her human body wouldn't be able to handle all that energy, and the power kills her when the fight is over. She knows all this when she makes the decision, but believes that it was what she has to do. So she does, and she dies. And to reference I May Fall again (the chorus in particular): Summer did fall, but not by any other hand then her own.

Hey, I'm shooting from the hip here, but it makes sense to me. Anyone's thoughts?
