"Come April, she will very likely have to leave her British life partner"

If I was in that position I would push for a green card marrige. Or perhaps just a normal marrige? not familiar with the dynamics of a life partnership.

Being married to your partner doesn't make much difference with respect to British immigration law. It just makes it somewhat easier to show that you really are in a relationship with someone. If she applies for a new visa on the basis that she has a partner who's a British citizen, then her partner will have to meet the income requirement regardless of whether they're married or not.
