The whole point of Mace and Meryn going to Braavos is to incorporate the chapter "Mercy" that was released awhile back as a new arya chapter from winds of winter. Although in the book chapter it isn't ser Meryn that accompanies Mace, its another person on arya's list.
So I like that they are setting up a sweet kill of ser Meryn. I hate him so much. Especially in the show. In the books he's bad but as pointed out in one of sansa's chapters "Ser Meryn simply doesn't care". They went to great lengths to make him much more evil in the show.
I don't think anything untoward will happen to Mace on the trip. If it does it will be completely made up just for the show. I think the point was just for Cersei to get rid of him for awhile so she could set up his daughter and her brother. Cersei thinks he's a bumbling old fool that won't be able to do anything once Margaery is imprisoned. Although in the books he parks an army outside the sept and gets her released to his custody...could happen that way again. I love the old switcheroo that gets pulled on Cersei. She is far to smug for her own good.
