Traditionally, with Ravenloft, the idea has been that people only enter, or leave, when the Dark Powers wish it.
If the Dark Powers of Ravenloft want to let people take things from it, they can. If not, they just vanish as they leave.
If you aren't Vecna, then you aren't getting out of Ravenloft without the cooperation of the Dark Powers.
So, simply put, either way works. I'd be inclined to let them go, just on the general principle that it's treasure earned.
The Dark Powers are inscrutable, but one common interpretation is that they are ultimately a force for good, and that Ravenloft exists to punish the wicked. . .if they're letting heroes leave Ravenloft after they've done good deeds there, letting them carry away a few magic items as a boon for their heroism isn't out of the question.
