If Dumbledore had been the original author of "the curse on the DADA position," then he'd have been in a better position than most to turn it on and off, or even just up and down.
And, um, if the real point of the curse (originally) was to dissuade TOM from applying ever again for the position, or from trying to get his agents into Hogwarts, then we'd expect the curse to get worse when Tom had strong reason to want an agent there.

Like, you know, when Prophecy-Boy was attending.
