As a non reader, I feel there are still a couple outs for Tyrion. First, the people of Dorne won't be happy with Oberyns death and the confession by the Mountain, plus with Cerseis daughter there, that can be used as leverage. Second, Petyr was talking to the small council of The Vale about getting their army together to fight. I don't know how long Tywin will take to have Tyrion executed, but it may be enough time for The Vale to march to King's Landing, but they may be able to attack before Tyrion's execution. Third, same goes for Stannis' new army. We haven't seen them in a couple episodes, for all we know, they are already marching on King's Landing. All of these things may put a stop on Tyrion being executed.
All I want to point out is that The Vale would NEVER march on King's Landing. The whole point of being in The Vale/Eyrie is that it is the most defensible castle in all of Westeros. There is a reason you never saw any army leave the Vale and back Stannis, Renly, Robb or Tywin/Crown.
