In the context of her possible alliance with Graendal that all her allies died (i.e. were actually killed by her), when they lost their usefulness,. This foreshadowing might not fit 100 %, namely that Aran'gar directly or indirectly killed Graendal, but I would say most foreshadowings aren't 100 % accurate (e.g. the Semirhage quote you mentioned also does state that Semirhage won't be sacrificed).
However, the quote still fits in an ironic way, namely that the author made Aran'gar's cynical thought actually come true: Aran'gar's new ally Graendal died lile every of her allies before at a time when she wasn't useful anymore in Arad Doman and in the story, misfortune actually played a part in it, and there isn't even a grave because of the balefire.

Ironic foreshadowing of Graendal's death?

Hmmm, I don't think so. I think it may be indicative of his own end, though.

Still, this quote doesn't foreshadow Aran'gar's death at all. *NM*

That was my interpretation as well, when I read it in the book. *NM*

I don't really see "my fellow bad guys are going to die" as being terribly prophetic

Arangar's allies die because she kills them, not because of some random twists of fate...

If you're referring to the reference to "those who found graves", then it fits most Forsaken deaths

I disagree; as I explained in the other posts the parallels are there in an ironic way. *NM*

It doesn't fit with Graendal's demise enough to have been hinting at it
