That point you raise shows what a giant mistake it was to try to stick to the original concept of the Cylons as living beings in the show itself, because for an episode like "Young Lords" doing this novelization only caused the kind of complications they resolved in the not too plausible way you describe of mixture of the living Cylons now building robots. These are the kind of changes that make the universe of the novelizations seem just as alien as.....well, you know. 
The novelization was also more PC by having Miri much more conservatively attired than she was in the episode!
