It's possible that he'll kill her but not likely, I'd say.

Chekhov's Gun - you don't spend time discussing a facially irrelevant object unless it's actually somehow relevant.
Martin points out a few times that Cersei was actually born just ahead of Jaime. Of the two twins, Jaime is technically the 'younger' sibling.
Valonquar just means younger brother in valyrian. Cersei always figured it was Tyrion but c'mon...it's Jaime. They don't bother mentioning that she was born first if it's not relevant.
Martin's pretty good at throwing you off the scent, but that would be a little too meta for me to believe he was intentionally throwing in an irrelevant detail just to make you think it was a relevant detail.
EDIT: Crap....I see Hawk has beaten me to most of this.
