Commanders rout when all troops are lost. If you summon one skeleton (twin spear is working now) and the skeleton is killed you have lost all your soldiers and you will therefore retreat.
But surely this isn't desirable? Shouldn't an exception be made for battle summons?
Especially given that otherwise, a group of commanders with no troops can attack, and on turn 5 (or sooner, with haste/quicken) a phantasmal warrior or skeleton is summoned, gets killed, and routs.

Except of course, that the commanders currently might not rout until they're all dead, which is arguably worse.
