Super short version: Nothing you can do.
Explanation:
The bots were designed back before mercenaries existed, so no support was ever built for them.
To heal a player, we use an in-game command that accepts a players name, so the heal goes directly to that player. This, however, does not work for mercenaries, because they are not players (technically an in-game limitation). There is not in-game command that works for mercenaries. We can get around this, by designing a whole new sub system that targets the merc, and casts on them directly. This creates.. annoyances such as what does it do with your target afterwards etc.
Generally speaking, people around here don't use mercs very often, they simply use another bot. So the development time it would take to properly support mercs, just isn't there. While full Merc support is on my list, there's a million other things that are just more important.
