Remarks from reading raws:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Yes, at this time according to the raws, were-ism is restricted to creatures that [CAN_LEARN]. Likewise vampirism. Husks should not be reanimated by evil regions, as the region interaction is not allowed to target creatures who are [NOT_LIVING].

If anyone wants to look at the extracted raws and doesn't feel like installing a tool for it, in that thread linked here about werelizard husk the save has these raws extracted. Of course it spoils the fun if you're more the experimental scientist type.

But I don't think being a husk makes it [NOT_LIVING]. just apposed to life, which is why they fight.

I have a small contribution. My Wicked Dust Clouds have been knocking out migrant waves, so I also decided to experiment a bit.
Generally, it seems like edged weapons are able to cut off parts and render husks and thralls (even with their incredible muscles) largely harmless; however, the dust coating seems to be deadly in some way. If any of it landed on my dwarves (armored as they are) they instantly died and then reanimated as thralls about a day later.
The only way to really kill them seems to be a lucky hit that causes the lower/upper body to sail off in an arc. Anything else will just reduce it to a quivering heap of jelly that keeps moving around.
Also, tame animals will attack dwarves without hesistation.

Edit: cutting off the head (not breaking it, mind you) seems to also work.
