Actually, I believe that it is if you yourself haven't killed the Countess, but allow your merc to kill her. So, if you start a new char, and let your Rogue Merc get the killing blow, then you may be able to kill her repeatedly to get the chest open. I think I remember hearing about this in the beta (invents new word) whatwith (:P) the uber-drop for the first time you kill a boss..
