dpdx, I hired a couple henchmen earlier for a character myself. They worked great. I have seen the problems you mentioned though. Neither of mine was a mage. As far as arming them... you can open the inventory for them. You cant take thier goods, but I think you can arm them. My guys responded to the simple radial mouse commands of "follow me" "guard me" off of their icons.
Not sure about the alignment thing... I know ive gotten one of my guys to switch from evil to neutral by releasing prisoners(gonna have to stop that crap ). I will look into it more.
Thanks for the thought though.
Peace

Take it from me... That 'Roland Darkmoor' fella helps without needing to be paid back.In fact, I lucked out in a couple of dungeons, and should now be able to recompense Roland Darkmoor's characters, who are practically the only reason my guy is L8 now...
Thanks for the thought though.
Peace
