While pretenders can get battle fright I don't think they are affected by it. I have had pretenders with that affliction and they still had morale 30. My guess is this is true for all morale-30 units.

I don't think recuperating pretenders is really a good idea, though. The game doesn't really need SC-pretenders to be better than they already are, and having to deal with afflictions (or pay extra for a regenerating/immortal pretender) is one of the complex challenges of the game.
