The designer confirmed deaths are checked at the end of the acclimatization phase, and the rulebook's check says the same.

Only at the acclimatization check at the end of the turn, after all of that turn's gains and losses are netted. A climber that dips below 1 during the action phase survives if its level is back at 1 or more by the check. Tent and space effects are added together before the death check.
