How did "The Seventh Veil" really end?

(shamelessly crossposted from the Classic Films group)

Everything I can find on google seems to agree that the pianist chose the James Mason character (Nicholas) in the end. I just watched the movie and that isn't what I saw.

She came down the staircase into the room where Nicholas and her other admirers were waiting. Then she ran past them and opened the double doors into another room and into the arms of a man who was too far away from the camera for me to see his face.

WTF?
