This has to do with how players are associated with their current character.
When somebody gets initially sucked, their consciousness will still be tied to their original body. This is why you can shuffle the brain into a new body to clone them.
When they get limbified, now their consciousness is tied to the limb critter. If you've ever cloned a puritan and noticed you can't rescan the original corpse, it is the same concept - the player got tethered to their exploding puritan body, leaving the old body useless.
