From a few papers I've read, it would seem that even in the presence
of Hawking radiation, all worldlines within the classical horizon
still go to the singularity.

In any local reference frame, the event horizon is moving outward at
the speed of light.  The fact that an external observer sees the
horizon to be radiating and shrinking doesn't change that.

No different.  A contracting view of the world outside followed by
increasing tidal stress and a very short possible lifetime.
