I don't think this is true. I've never seen anything other than mindless or berserk units stick around after the siderout. I see no evidence of morale checks.
I have seen it frequently, or else my memory is lying to me. I guess I'll have to check when I get home. Usually it's elite sacreds or commanders.

Okay, I checked this when I got home and I'm kind of puzzled. I went to a recent battle replay and killed off bunches of my units with Shift + 'K'. It consistently didn't happen that 50% death generated the rout notice, and I kept having to kill off somewhat more than 75% for the notice to happen. Each time I did it, the commander routed, but the one surviving unit did not--he did not get the Routing -4 penalty to defense, and he advanced toward the enemy and attacked. Note that both commander and unit had Morale 30. Perhaps it's just some kind of bug instead of by-design.
