If for some reason that's not the case, then like AK said, she hadn't gotten over Gallus when you became a nightingale, chances are, she's not going to get over him any time soon. If I'm right, Gallus is a Nord, and Nords go to Sovngarde, and Karliah isn't a Nord. Unless Gallus isn't a Nord, I don't think the theory of them meeting in the afterlife can take much effect.

Actually, the afterlife depends on your belief and religious alignment, aswell as contracts or diseases. For example:

Nightingales are bound to Nocturnal and to her realm, therefore they go to Evergloam.

Werewolves are bound to Hircine by blood and spirit, therefore, when they die, they join Hircine's eternal hunting grounds.

Although this is not been proven, it's said that victims killed in honor of Sithis join his real/being, a.k.a. The Void.
