Heh...funny.
I agree with the rest you said, she assumed [I don't know why] she would bring back the TC of power, not the TC of impotence...maybe she should have payed more attention to the results of summoning Kevin's ghost.

Linden is dead in the real world. TC is dieng is what my take is on that first chapter. Linden didn't bring him back right!

Seriously, I think the "he isn't whole" indicates that she can in some way see the fracturing he's going thru as he loses the Timewarden part of himself. Apparently she thought she could bring him back with all that knowledge (or that's how he *would* come back)... A being with that much awareness and power would surely make her job saving the Land a lot easier. I don't think it ever occurred to her that he wouldn't come back whole.
Likewise with the leprosy. He hadn't really been a leper for most of the time they were together, I don't think she ever gave it a thought.
I think that's it. She has resurrected Thomas Covenant as a human being, with human limitations, human weaknesses and the defining condition of his humanity - his leprosy.
