I can;t find a good enough model to convince me of it.
Between the two models, Ison's debris is outbound and climbing above Venus toward Earth,
while the other model shows LoveJoy below Earth and Mars climbing inward towards the Sun and above.
I can;t tell how close that they come between the two separate models, but they're within the same area between Earth and Venus and above our orbital plane.
If I had to guess, I'd say it's plausible, based on the length of LoveJoy's tail.

ISON is not pining for the Oort cloud! ISON has passed on! This comet is no more! He has ceased to be! ISON is expired and gone to meet his maker! Hes a whiff of dust, a stiff! Bereft of life, he rests in peace! If you hadn’t nailed him to the perch (or kept posting stupid YouTube videos) he’d be pushing up the daisies! His comet processes are now history! Hes off the twig! Hes kicked the bucket. Hes shuffled off his mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleeding choir invisible!! THIS IS AN EX-COMET!!
