I'm playing BG2. Minsc is in my party. He got killed in the course of battling the Shadow Dragon in Umar Hills. I had Jaheira cast Harper's Call to raise him from the dead. His avatar did come alive. I expected his body to to likewise, but alas this did not come to pass. Instead, in a most bizarre turn of events, a part of Minsc's eviscerated corpse appeared in a constantly and rapidly rotating state.
Even more astonishingly, this is the *second* time in a very short while that I encountered a bug (I mean it has to be a bug right?) having to do with Minsc's state of death/non-death, as can be see from checking out my previous post.
See the posted link for proof of what I'm saying.
