On the contrary, Siege validates Re-Mark.

King Sombra explicitly says he hesitated to release the Umbrum because he was wary that they might not accept him once his role was complete. Recall he was as much a weirdo among them as he was among the Crystal Ponies.

Even when Celestia and Luna were at his gates, he could not bring himself to open the door. (And as I recall, even in Siege, it is only ever opened by accident.)
