When fighting a demon (say, Marilith) that summons another demon (say, Nalfeshnee) to the battle, when the original demon summoner (Marilith) is dispatched, does the summoned demon disappear or remain behind for the duration of the spell?

I would keep it around for the duration of the spell. In general a spell effect does not end when the caster dies - don't see why this would be any different.

Okay I could be wrong, but as I understand it the spell lasts the duration of the Summoning spell unless dismissed. I do not think being unconscious dismisses a summoned creature. Dismissing is an active thing so it should stick around. The only way it would be dismissed, as far as I know, is if the spell or effect has to be maintained by concentration.
So, as far as I know, the summoned creature stays until the spell's duration is over.
Thanks for the suggestions. Looks like my PC's have another fiend to worry about now...
