That is correct - mechanical units are normally banned from the new recruits but the game also tries to add a general (with 1 XP) if none were picked from the recent battle. The general chosen is based entirely on your Hero's race but the game does not perform any of the usual retinue checks to void these generals from the new recruits. This is why only Dark Dwarven Heroes can recruit Bronze Golems but only the "offered" one via the forced added general and not any of the ones from the recent battle.
