Interesting. A quick test with Minsc at 3m xp showed he retained his HLA but forcing the simulacrum into the party showed his levels dropping from 18 to 9, with hit points reducing from 113 to 86. He also shows as level-drained, and clearing that restores him to level 18 with 113hp.
Trying to remove HLA's could be problematic, and may be something that should be left as-is.
