Non-corporeal creatures were never meant to be animates, 730 had a broken check within it that was allowing certain ones (like the defenders) to slip through unintentionally. This bug was discovered and patched the other day.
That being said, what is it about the defenders that made them valuable animates? I'm not averse to finding some way to ameliorate the potential loss here.

The change to disallow all levels of non-corpreal animates is a sad change. As for value, that's nearly half (need evidence) of all possible animates at cap because almost all undead are non-corpreal at cap. The thing about 'animate' dead was that you aren't raising the dead or making zombies, you are only pulling the strings on a preserved target. It's always been quite difficult to get a non-corpreal to animate due to the quick vanish time when components are used as well. I don't see what can be 'added' to make up for the loss of valuable animate friendly targets.
Additionally, from a new change, animates can no longer stack that 1 or 2 spells that they know on a sorcerer, but may simply 'refresh' them, which whittles down their usefulness from another side.
I'm not saying animate dead is underpowered or needs to be 'fixed', but these 2 recent changes have had a significant impact on users of the spell.

First, this "fix" should have been posted about so people are not out there in Nelemar wasting crystals. Believe it or not, some people actually use the spell.
Are defenders truly non-corp as they get injuries that heal more like trolls but faster? Can we make them fully corp instead of taking them away as an animate option? They are similar to combatants, but I prefer the bullrush to tackle, and their horn is more much powerful and quite awesome when it goes off at the right time. Also, they've been my hunting partners for over 2 years.
An animated spectral triton defender draws forth a silver-spined dextral conch shell and brings it to his bulbous lips. The shell blasts forth with a deep, rumbling bellow, causing the water to rapidly well up around the defender!
The rippling barrier of water explodes forth and expands outward from an animated spectral triton defender.

The defenders are indeed truly fully non-corporeal: their wound system is entirely non-corp and quite unlike trolls. Their ability set is also identical to the combatants (both Bullrush, neither Tackle) and both have the Horn Blast ability at the exact same power level.
Again, I'm not adverse to making improvements to Animate Dead. Alongside the mentioned spell change (which was made because we made animates a -lot- more friendly to use), we made quite a few improvements to the usability of the spell last summer and if further improvements are necessary, I'm quite willing to push forward on them. However, non-corporeal undead were never meant to be animates, they don't have physical bodies to preserve/animate, they skip the intended wound mechanics, and the vast majority were never modified to work properly under the spell. I am very sorry that this bug existed for quite some time and, again, I'm completely willing to look into other options for capped animates, but the bug really did need to be fixed.

How about fixing instead the prepping of spells by magical animates only to have them swing 10 seconds later? This is on a magus I used last night to fairly poor results. Or how about fixing the hurling issue as they are still doing that?

If any fix were to be made, it would be the other way around. Currently, sympathetic (1120) creatures are considered part of the empath's group (they're fighting for the caster). Any AoE abilities that are from the caster or their group that still affect said targets is technically a bug. I've been considering changing that, but it's not high on my list.

I didn't see this come through.

In other news, Song of Holding (1001) should now play nicely with animates (i.e. when cast by the animate, it shouldn't affect the sorcerer).

You don't find anything of interest here.
Roundtime: 3 sec.
Roundtime changed to 2 seconds.
So, by this I must wonder, were sirens not given .5x air lore (50 ranks and at 30 ranks would give -2 RT) because of a particular reason?

Not sure if this is familiar related or the update that changed animates hurling weapons but here you see my mage hunting a combatant. It doesn't show the hurl, but it shows the combatants weapon flying from it's hands and sailing past my familiar. The next action the combatant did was claw at me.
A triton combatant thrusts with an oak-shafted silvery blue trident at you!
AS: +430 vs DS: +711 with AvD: +30 + d100 roll: +87 = -164
A clean miss.

You gesture at a triton combatant.
You hurl a large boulder at a triton combatant!
AS: +490 vs DS: +300 with AvD: +22 + d100 roll: +97 = +309
... and hit for 113 points of damage!
Good blow to chest!

Seems some changes made monster's group spells too friendly. Not that i'm upset but now a non-animated, ungrouped grizzled siren is applying Song of Tonis to me. That's swell!

This should be fixed. Thanks for reporting the issue.

Randomly an animate I have (after logging out and back in) will suddenly;

An animated Grimswarm orc fighter thrusts with a lance at a Sheruvian monk!
AS: +496 vs DS: +265 with AvD: +35 + d100 roll: +49 = +315
... and hits for 186 points of damage!
Strike punctures thigh and shatters femur!
A Sheruvian monk screams and falls to the ground grasping its mangled left leg!
The Sheruvian monk is stunned!
The ethereal necrotic film covering an animated Grimswarm orc fighter's lance shrivels away.
You cannot temp ensorcell a crumbly weapon. Nor did I attempt to temp ensorcell this weapon. But upon login, it would appear that my animate suddenly gains an temp ensorcell on their crumbly lance.
