I'd like to think it does kill them and only their physical body becomes the tree (while plants are alive they don't have a mind unless they're like plant monsters such as Plunderseeds), just because it seems less cruel than the alternative, especially considering at least one pony must have suffered this fate. (Although, in Charmed an immortal demon is turned into a tree so we know he's still alive but trapped forever, but then there was a magic spell specifically for that that could have been undone with the right spell)
