I don't know about the prophet issues, but I do know that mind-enslaved sacred units remain sacred for their new owner. That is rather anti-thematic, but it may be too deeply ingrained in how units are represented for them to be able to do much about it.

The specific example is from an MP game. I (as Pythium) enslaved a bunch of Black Hunters. The hunters kept their sacred attribute. They showed no signs that they kept the regen part of their previous blessing (N9 - the regen symbol appears when they get the nature blessing and it did not appear when they were blessed by Pythian priests). Instead, they did clearly get the increased prot from the Pythium E10 blessing. More buggy (though I have not tried to reproduce the effect) was that the regular Pythium sacred units seemed to acquire the berserker part of the N9 blessing, even when there were no former Machaka units in the battle. After having enslaved the hunters, I regularly had Theurgs go berserk (I suppose there could be some other explanation for that, but if so, I am not aware of it).
