The Lurker calls for any Bound Allies to be placed on the AO's sheet in the event of his awakening, requiring one additional success to remove a doom token.
What about in-game discarding of Bound Allies, such as Duke, William Britton or discarding an ally in order to pass The Stars are Right Rumour? I put it on the sheet. It seems like a cheap way to get out of the penalty for having made the pact in the first place. I also don't discard the pact card so that investigator cannot get a second Bound Ally.
Anyone else?

I'm with you on this Brian. It's the existance of the Pact that causes the taint that makes it harder to defeat the AO, not the presence of an Ally. So regardless of the status of the Ally when the AO awakens, the Pact had been made so the Bound Ally card must be on the AO sheet to indicate that you are tainted.
I assume that your sentence "it seems like a cheap way..." meant "Otherwise it seems like a cheap way...". I would agree with you, for the reasons that I stated in the previous paragraph.
Again, you are right to retain the Pact card because it indates the existance of a Pact, not the presence of an Ally. The Pact is unaffected by the status of the Ally. Retain the Pact card.
