Curse disables immunity to status effects.  
A troop being stealthy has nothing to do with status effects so it should be quite natural that cursed stealthy troop remains stealthy, just like troops with skull reduction keep it and troops with infernal armor keep it and so on.

Correct, Traits are _not_ counted as status effects (which necessarily wear off under various conditions). Try using Stun instead?
