However, he can still be dismissed for a run out, handling the ball, hitting the ball twice, or obstructing the field. - (from Wikipedia)

If the umpire thinks the batsman was trying to run, when the 'keeper collected the ball & dismantled the wicket, it could be considered a run out, not a stumping and hence he could be given out. Source - Wikipedia
