It seems that a person mounted on a mob does not persist through a hotboot, and becomes messed up because they are no longer mounted but the mounted flag is still on the mob. Why is this being reset? Should I just force players to dismount pre-hotboot?

Its because the mounted variable isn't saved to the pfile. Depending on what version of hotboot your using, you could modify it to save it the mobs name/vnum and check during recovery if it should be setting the mount variable.

Well I'm using Samson's hotboot, but I don't know how to check the version. I'd have to write mounts status to files in the hotboot dir right?

You can, yes, or have the check specific to hotboots in save_char_obj write the name of the mount and re-mount them.
