IMO the interaction is fine as-is, and the answer is already given to us by the RTS/GIE interaction. RTS turns everything to swamp water, then the GIE turns it into ice, per RTS' R&C. RTS has a constant effect, while GIE's use of "while..." means you have to check the status of the space, then apply the effect if able. Durnipia also uses "while..." so the interactions would be:
  • Spaces within 1 of both RTS and Durnipia are water. RTS turns them into swamp, then Durnipia checks if she's on a land space and if so turns them into water
  • If RTS is within 1 space of Durnipia, she does not change adjacent spaces. RTS changes Durnipia's space to swamp water, then when she checks she is not on a land space and does nothing
Bonus theme: engaging the healer with the vile Marro corrupts her waters with swamp (although it doesn't actually affect her negatively, since figures already don't have to stop in swamp water, and swamp water still counts as water for her healing; on a related note, maybe we can differentiate that by saying "subtract 5 from your roll if the figure is on a swamp water space).
I don't buy it. The "while" on GIE does not have the effect you claim (the GIE-RTS interaction works for other reasons), and and I'm not convinced that a land space adjacent to RTS is not still a "land space."

A land space between RTS and Durnipia is not clear. Both are able to change the other's space types to their own, and both do so simultaneously and continuously.

This is still a no-go. The two powers do not play together in any predictable way. Even the d20 roll-off doesn't work, as it creates a memory mechanic of what the spaces became when figures moved close together, or an annoying d20 roll-off every time a figure needs to check what the space is.
