No. The regeneration is an instantaneous effect - once something has healed, it's non-magical.
Like how you can't dispel a Cure Light Wounds.
Although I did hear about an evil Ring of Regeneration, where a PC wore it for a year before the evil cleric who'd made it said the command word that reversed all the healing it had done in that year...

Certainly.
The duration is "Permanent", not "Instantaneous".
He radiates Transmutation magic.
He looks human under a True Seeing spell.
He is susceptible to effects that only work on humanoids, and not those that only work on giants.
He's not really a troll.

Why would you polymorph into an armless and legless troll if you were being subjected to poly other?
I would think you would polymorph into a troll with the normal appendage alotment and then if you had somehow also been given the SU ability to regen you would regain the hp.
Should the poly then be dispelled, you would revert to a fully healed quadruple amputee. Any gear that was magical and still wearable would resize. The rest would just fall to the floor. At this point you would probably also be flatfooted.

A good solution to the age-old problem with Polymorph Self or Other spells is simply to restrict morphs only to general humanoid types, normal animals or giant versions of normal animals.
This would reflect the magicless properties of the caster himself or something along the lines of not having any magical blood in themselves. Monsters, supernatural stuff and anything beyond "normal" creatures in our own real world simply would not happen. You could even retain your spellcasting ability provided you morph into a form that has adequate appendages and vocal cord capabilities (humanoid here). This helps to keep things in balance while still providing ample opportunities for creative spellcasters to use the spell to good benefit in various situations.
You could also allow spellcasters to morph into monsters and other creatures provided they have a material component of the actual creature itself (some hair, skin, tooth, bone, etc). All of a sudden morphing into a red dragon by Polymorph Self because more of a challenge than before and in itself could present the basis for an adventure. Searching for dragon scales anyone?
